I thank Senator Pocock for his first supplementary question. Look, we are developing a response to the Inflation Reduction Act. I have tried to put into perspective the positive aspects of that piece of legislation. I didn't go into the negative aspects of that legislation and they relate to other forms of energy, such as hydrogen. One of the discussions that we're having with the United States at the moment is ensuring that the price that they sell their hydrogen at doesn't undercut any production of hydrogen. Of course, all of the states right now are looking at the way in which they can get into that hydrogen cycle. I know from South Australia's point of view just how much work and effort are going into the development at Port Bonython. (Time expired)
