I did not think it would be. Thank you very much for that. As you know—or maybe people are not aware of this—if you just leave country alone it will naturally revegetate by itself, quite quickly in some areas. In fact, if you do not control brigalow and gidgee, it will literally take the country over. The classic one is white box or Eucalyptus populnea. Does that mean that, if I go out and plant Eucalyptus populnea, I will get a credit for it but, if it just grows naturally, I will not?
