In all seriousness, this bid is extremely important in terms of global scientific infrastructure. This is a project for which $117 million has been provided. We are working with the government of Western Australia to enhance that and additional sums of money have been allocated for that. There is a major international forum to be launched on 9 April in Western Australia with Premier Carpenter. I will be participating in that and we will be pursuing this bid with all the vigour that the Australian government can muster. I would invite the opposition to support this bid. (Time expired)
