Senator NASH (New South WalesDeputy Leader of The Nationals in the Senate) (12:32): In response to the minister's answer regarding the additionality test, I note that the explanatory memorandum says that the additionality test is to ensure that credits are only issued for abatement that would not normally have occurred and therefore provides a genuine environmental benefit. Minister, isn't an increase in the abatement from an existing set of circumstances also of environmental benefit? Why would that not be genuine?
