Maybe that's why I haven't got an answer: I didn't say it right. I will check Google pronunciation or whatever. So thank you for your assistance, Mr Acting Chairman Sterle. I stuffed up the pronunciation, so no wonder the minister couldn't answer my question. I apologise to my colleagues, to the Senate and to the officials who are present. Thank you, again, Mr Acting Chairman, for your help.

In the event of a conflict—or indeed a natural disaster—where the country that we are supposed to have the ticketing arrangement with says, 'Sorry, buddy, we're in a conflict with whichever country' or 'We've got a natural disaster, and we need it for our domestic consumption,' wouldn't that be a case of force majeure? Again, I apologise for stuffing up the pronunciation.
