As I've said on a number of occasions, the government will be releasing the modelling in the next few weeks, and it will be there along with our plans, which go through, quite methodically, how we intend to achieve that target. I'm looking forward to being able to point to the commitment that we're making, the target that we've set, of net zero emissions by 2050 and, of course, the update to our 2030 target, which was 26 to 28 per cent, which is what we took to the last election. We've kept faith with that commitment. We said we'd meet that commitment and we'd beat it, and that is exactly what we're going to do. I'll be able to inform them that we now expect that we will be able to see a 35 per cent reduction by 2030. That is our expectation. That is what the work shows. I think that's an extraordinary achievement by the Australian people, by Australian industry and, I've got to say, particularly by the agricultural sector.
