I welcome the community representatives and elders here today. We are aware of court proceedings in relation to the Barossa project. You would understand, Senator—just as I understand why you are asking me the question—that, as the matter remains before the courts, the government and in fact the Senate, as a general rule, will not be commenting on matters before the Federal Court. I would note that the federal government is not party to these proceedings.
