It seems a little inconsistent, if I may say, with the first question, but so be it. The Belem declaration talks about a road map to deliver a fairer transition. It is consistent with our language from the Conference of the Parties in 2023, I think. The Australian position has not changed. We're supporting the global transition, and we remain a reliable trading partner. These are matters that are challenging. These are matters which do involve a global economic transition and an economic transition for this country. We understand that that requires policy. It requires delivery. It requires us to change the nature of the economy in which we are. You don't do it through bumper stickers, and you certainly don't do it by making false accusations.
