And I agree. That applies to South Australia, Tasmania, Queensland and Western Australia. This isn't a partisan issue; this is about ensuring that our economies can open up. I have made this point consistently—that it is in Virgin's interest, it is in Qantas's interest and it is in the aviation sector's interest that we move to opening up travel within Australia as soon as possible. The three-step process is intended to be completed in July, and we look forward to that being completed in July. I would be hoping that, at the earliest possible opportunity, states will be able to indicate the date in July that that interstate travel will be open again, to be able to give that certainty. I'll ask the Deputy Prime Minister to add to that.
