Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I thank the minister for his answer, but I ask the minister to take on notice for me his information about the supply of Opal fuel to Oenpelli. I am aware that the CEO of Oenpelli Council is reported in today’s newspapers as saying that the community has applied to the government for Opal fuel in Oenpelli. So would you please confirm for us that the Department of Health and Ageing has in fact received an application specifically for Oenpelli and not surrounding communities? Also, please explain why Opal fuel, as I understand it, has not been made available to Oenpelli. If in fact it has, would you please reconfirm the advice you have been given?
