Price, of course, doesn't go to investment—it's about the future. What we have done is to say that we will respond to this in a considered and an orderly way. We appointed a four-person independent panel to consult the farmers, communities and supply chain participants—to do all of this, to inform when and how this policy could be implemented. That's why we've very clearly not put a date on when the phase-out will occur. We've said we'll consult with industry in the interests of a strong and sustainable future for the Australian sheep, wool and sheepmeat industry. One of the things that we've been doing as well, it must be said, is negotiating with our trading nations, in order to open up our exports further.
