All of that is just to explain where I think we are. The question, then, is: where does Parliament fit into all this? We are giving the Government, in Clause 17, the power to designate strategic plans. In so far as there is a clean power action plan and the Government designate it, there was no parliamentary process—none that I can find—associated with the clean power action plan. It was simply published by the Government. Unless I am wrong, the strategic spatial energy plan that is intended to be published next year will have no parliamentary process associated with it. So, in so far as the National Electricity System Operator and the distribution operators are required to align with a designated strategic plan, they are aligning with something in relation to which Parliament has no role.
