We only have a couple more minutes until we suspend the debate until this afternoon—if the government chooses to bring it back—so I have a couple of questions that I would like to put on notice for you. The first one the advisers may be able to tell you about right now. Does the government have any other sites under consideration? Have there been any other nominations? This bill, as you have described it to us, provides first of all for locking in the Muckaty nomination—which was against the ALP's policy. Nonetheless, they have done that. Can you confirm for us—and I would like to be a little bit forensic about this if I can—whether the government has accepted any nominations, entertained expressions of interest or spoken to other parties? In terms as broad as I can frame the question, are there any other sites under consideration and, if so, where are they?
