My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, Minister Ludwig. With negotiations over the second commitment period for the Kyoto protocol continuing this week at the UNFCCC meeting in Doha, and with Australia's decision to sign on to a second commitment period, will the government now reveal to the parliament its Kyoto target—that is, the quantified emissions limitation or reduction objective, the QELRO—for the second commitment period? Given that our last QELRO was 108 per cent of 1990 levels, will it be less than 100 per cent based on 1990 levels to ensure that Australia does not become a roadblock to a new agreement?
