I thank Senator Rhiannon for the question. I don't have specific information with me on the directors of those other companies, but the government does support a sustainable live export industry that provides significant numbers of jobs and significant income to Australian farmers. The industry is regulated by an independent regulator, and it's the independent regulator that has made the decisions that Senator Rhiannon has referred to in her question. We support the regulator operating in an independent and arms-length manner from the government. I'll have to take on notice the specific details that Senator Rhiannon has requested and come back to the Senate.
