With regard to the pulp mill in Tasmania, the government has indicated that it will follow all of the appropriate procedural guidelines for the assessment. The pulp mill has been given approval to operate and it is now going through other measures that Minister Garrett currently has before him. As to the matters to do with the search for finance on an international basis, I am not aware of any support that the government has provided in that regard. If there is anything further that the Minister for Trade has to offer in that regard, I will come back to Senator Brown.
