Senator Lambie, you raised the responsibility of Australian firms to assure their supply chains, and I agree with you. In fact, one of the ways in which we can try and get around the fact that governments don't have access to a third-country-tracking system for oil is to actually say to companies, 'You need to do more to assure your supply chain,' just as we say, in relation to modern slavery, 'We want to make sure that modern slavery doesn't infect your supply chain.' So I certainly agree with you. I've made the statement publicly that companies should take responsibility for making sure that they don't in actuality get around international sanctions against Russia.
