Just before answering the supplementary question, I should also point out that the support that we're providing to Indonesia in the sense of personnel is also provided remotely. There will be additional Australian staff on the ground in Indonesia, but some of that support is already being provided remotely back here from Australia.

As I said, one million vaccines that Australia is providing to Indonesia have now arrived. That happened a couple of weeks ago. I'm happy to give you on notice the exact details as to how many of those vaccines have been administered, but my understanding is that the rollout is well progressed. We know that there's an urgent need to get those vaccines into cattle as quickly as possible. I'm happy to come back on notice with the exact answer.
