I think we've made the point that commercial in confidence is not a new thing. It is not a new principle. It is one that is well established. And the vast majority of investment in the cheapest form of renewable energy will come from the private sector. That's why we've seen 7.7 gigawatts added to the grid since May 2022, which is equivalent to the demand in the evening of all of the state of Victoria since 2022, compared to the four gigawatts which left the grid under the previous government, and only one gigawatt came on.
