I thank the member for Mallee for the question. The contradiction in it, I think, is obvious from the nature of it, which is that the Victorian Premier said that at the meeting that was convened to nationally coordinate activity, to have a national fuel supply coordinator in Anthea Harris and to have all of the state and territory governments to appoint someone as well so we could deal with the bureaucracy. Then energy ministers were convened the day after, on Friday, to coordinate that approach with the energy ministers. I intend convening again the National Cabinet meeting. We'll meet next week to further coordinate the activity that we are taking and, indeed, in coordinating that activity, it is important that we have national consistency.
