I reassure Senator Di Natale that there is no such proposal before the government and that that is not at all on the table in any way, shape or form. I would say that, in relation to Snowy Hydro, it's a matter of public record that they're currently considering an investment opportunity into Snowy 2.0. That is going through its normal processes. A final investment decision is due towards the end of the year, and it will be made based on commercial considerations and whether or not the proposal stacks up on commercial grounds. That is what the Australian people would expect us to do.
