I do know that, of course, nothing would give Senator Whish-Wilson more delight than to cancel projects right across the country. It's the Greens cancel culture. It goes in a range of different directions and 'cancelled projects' is right at the top of their favourite list. From cancelled projects, they like cancelled jobs, as Senator Cash says. Cancel business, cancel outcomes for Australia, cancel growth, cancel projects, cancel jobs: it's very much the Greens way. But the point I was making was that there is a process arrangement put in place in relation to how PEP-11 was considered. Those processes were followed, and that's how the decision was arrived at.
