I'll come back to you if this is wrong, but at least twice—perhaps more than that. I did meet with representatives of Glencore again today. I have been closely coordinating with colleagues in the Queensland government about the approach the Queensland government has taken to that set of issues, and engaging, as you would expect, over a facility that is of this importance. I have no trouble with timekeeping, Senator McDonald. I'm very conscious of the importance of that facility for Mount Isa, for the region, for the copper industry, for the facilities that rely upon it and for the Queensland economy in Australia's broader strategic and economic resilience national interest.
