I am not in a position to provide comment on interactions between proponents and the East Timorese government, but perhaps I can provide you with this information. We're aware of Timor-Leste's interest in converting the depleted Bayu-Undan field to a CCS project. Minister Wong has visited Timor-Leste and indicated that we would support their ambition. We're waiting to confirm their proposed next steps on that project. We would be guided by their priorities. That is of course entirely appropriate. We respect their right to make sovereign decisions about inward investment.
