I am wanting to be able to answer people in the ACT. I take your point. You have talked about business cases and proponents. I totally get that. But what we are doing in this place is setting the framework for engagement and that surely should be evidence based. The thing I would really like to be able to tell Canberrans or people in Jervis Bay or even people in Norfolk Island who might have concerns is, 'These are the projects that actually work with carbon capture and storage and that is why the government and the opposition have voted to ratify the London protocol to allow gas companies to potentially—should they have the business case and jump through all the various hoops—to export.' So if you could just talk us through the projects that are currently working.
