Mr. Frank Maughan:

Absolutely. My response was to confirm that there is no legislative requirement arising from those commitments. These are political statements of the State's intent at international level in the context of the climate action summit to say, "We are prepared to be ambitions on this particular agenda". These are things which will be given expression in domestic policy. The Deputy can see they are being given expression, for example, in regard to the recent budget commitments on expenditure of carbon tax revenues and the additional funding provided to the National Parks and Wildlife Service for rehabilitation of peatlands. That was an example of how one of the commitments we have entered into can be given expression through domestic policy but the expression is very much in the line of the normal budgetary processes, so the implementation of domestic policy is there already.
