I wonder if you're aware of the study commissioned by the Howard government in 2002 that looked extensively at the suitability of the Woomera site. I have the document here, if you'd like it. It's about 400 pages. It's a very, very comprehensive study, which finds in favour of putting a facility at Woomera. Perhaps you weren't aware of the study, but I wonder whether or not it would change your view. I'm happy to walk over and give it to you. It's a public document. I'm happy to table it, or whatever is necessary to convince you that a lot of due diligence has been done on the Woomera site.
