That is not something that is subject to this legislation. This is legislation to set up a capital fund under the Future Fund, so it is fundamentally Finance portfolio legislation, together with the minister for drought, to establish a funding flow. These issues that you are referring to are matters, obviously, for the agricultural portfolio, which I'm sure they will be prepared to address for you through separate processes.
