I'm asked about supply for this individual, and I've asked for the number that so that we can engage with the person concerned, Josh. On supply, the Australian Institute of Petroleum's Malcolm Roberts—not the senator, the other one, the CEO—said this on Saturday in response to our initiative: 'While the flow of fuel into Australia continues uninterrupted, it is prudent for industry and government to secure additional medium-term supply in the event that the conflict in the Middle East continues for weeks or even months. Support from Export Finance Australia will help secure more spot cargoes for Australia as added insurance in uncertain times. The changes announced represent sensible risk sharing between industry and government. They will strengthen medium-term fuel security.' That's an example of the response of industry, who know something about these issues, when it comes to the measures that we have taken to secure supply into Australia in the context of a Middle East war.
