Senator WONG (Minister for Climate Change and Water) (3:43 PM) —Senator, as much as I am sure you would like me to talk about manure—


Senator Nash —It’s a genuine question, Minister.


Senator WONG —Senator, we know that you are not going to vote for this scheme no matter what answer I give. I am observing the appropriateness of responding to your question but—


Senator Ian Macdonald —Some might argue that that is what is happening.


Senator WONG —That is a little bit of schoolyard humour from you, Senator Macdonald.


The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN (Senator Bernardi)—Ignore the interjections, Minister.


Senator WONG —Perhaps you could ask them not to interject, Chair, in the interests of being fair. Senator Nash, I am not sure I can assist you. Those methodologies would be determined by the committee. I will endeavour to find out if there are currently existing international methodologies for that and I will provide the information to you.
