That's a very broad question from the member for O'Connor, whose electorate I was in just last week—there in Collie, the place where there is going to be a nuclear reactor sometime in the 2040s or 2050s if those opposite are to be believed. We are yet to have any costings. We're yet to have a process, but that is what they say. Of course, Collie used to be, for a long time, a place where coalmining and the coal-fired power station were major generators of jobs and economic activity. But that is a region that is in transition. What is happening is that government is working with the private sector, including the resources sector, on that transition. There you can see, on the site right next to the power station, 500 people at work building a big battery that will store enough energy for 860,000 homes.
