There is nothing to stop companies that wish to open up new greenfield sites or iron ore sites providing their own infrastructure, as companies before them have done. And I am talking not only about up in the Pilbara but also about other areas. Companies do invest in their own infrastructure to gain access to markets. As I said, we will adhere to the process laid down by this government to provide security of investment through protection by legislation and allow the ACCC to do their job. When we have received their outcome, we will have a look at the measures to be put in place.
