I don't think I actually could have been clearer. So, why don't I talk about the Future Drought Fund and the $5 billion that we have put into that to actually assist farmers and communities, not today but over the coming years, to address climate change and address their resilience and the resilience of their businesses to the fact that we will be seeing droughts, heatwaves et cetera in this country? That's the reality. That's why we've actually put money—real money—on the table to assist communities and industry, going forward, to be more resilient in the face of climate change.
