Mr President, I ask a supplementary question to the minister. I thank the minister for the first answer. A recent vote showed that 99 per cent of the Port Augusta community joined their local council, the current plant's employees union and several national community groups, including the Australian Youth Climate Coalition, in their support for concentrated solar thermal—and for good reason. Is the minister aware of the high rate of lung cancer in Port Augusta—twice that of the rest of South Australia?
