I was making the point that the government has been working not just in the lead-up to Easter. We will continue to work in the lead-up to Easter and, of course, we'll all be working during Easter, with the industry, to make sure that's the case.

In relation to updates, I've provided updates in the House each day. No doubt I'll do that next week. No doubt I'll be active in the public over the weekend. I'll be answering questions as I have done on many days since 28 February. I will also point out that premiers are doing the same. That's a good thing. Premier Minns is providing a daily update on service station closures in his state. That's appropriate. There are information-gathering powers in his state, and I welcome the action he's taken. I do point out that every single state runs a service station website which has information available to the public. There was a chance, a few years ago, to have a national website; the Liberal Party opposed that. That's okay. The states are providing very useful updates, as is the Commonwealth.
