I'm glad that you refer to the Queensland government, Senator McDonald. This government is working very closely with the Crisafulli government and Minister Dale Last. I just got off the phone with him a minute ago, actually. He's a very fine fella. I travelled recently, after meeting with Premier Crisafulli and with Minister Last, to Mount Isa to meet with Glencore and to meet with the mayor and community representatives in Mount Isa. We are very focused not on pointing fingers at state governments but on working in cooperation with state governments. They have been very engaged with Glencore.
