It was a fairly simple question. There was not a great deal of detail to the question. Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. I note that Australia, as the minister mentioned, has joined in sanctions banning Iranian oil imports from January. The foreign minister at that time indicated that Australia's exports to Iran have been reduced. Given that Australia sells uranium to Russia, which is the key strategic enabler of the Iranian government's nuclear program, whether it be civil or military, what is Australia doing to ensure that Australian uranium does not end up in Iran?
