I thank the Acting Chairman for his questions and members for their interesting questions and insights.

To respond to Senator Terry Brennan's comments, lighting is an important issue. He gave some good examples with reference to motorways. Adopting a dimming and trimming approach to public lighting is critically important in our engagement with local authorities on the public service energy efficiency plan. We have discussed the issues raised and there is an energy efficiency division within my Department, to which I will take back the points made by the Senator, of which I have made a good note.
