To add to an earlier answer, I referred to the number of AstraZeneca doses that have been administered in Australia. I said I believed it to be around about 10 million. I confirm it's 9.6 million. We expect that 10 million mark to be hit not too far from now. And 4.7 million of those doses have actually been administered since 1 July of this year, which I think is an extraordinary achievement of the national vaccination program—that so many AstraZeneca doses have been able to be administered since July. There were many challenges earlier. I remember standing up at the end of June, encouraging Australians to consider taking that AstraZeneca vaccine, and, since then, 4.7 million doses have been administered. Thank you, Australia.
