As I was saying, for those parts that are relevant: we fully support the EU embargo on Iranian oil and the other new measures, and are considering how to implement comparable measures in Australia. Australia does not currently import any Iranian oil.

We urge Iran to follow through on its readiness to restart talks with the P5 plus 1. As others in the chamber have noted, I am not sure that the rest of the question was not drawn around the hypothetical suggestion, but, if there is any other information I can get from the minister's office, I will provide that on notice.
