We have until 1 November to pull the trigger. If I can just indicate, we welcome, as Australia should, Santos's recent announcement that it had signed an agreement to supply 15 petajoules of gas into ENGIE's Pelican Point power station in South Australia. We welcome their gas swap deal announced on 30 August, where they committed 18 petajoules per year over three years, with an option to extend into the domestic market—exactly what this mechanism was intended to persuade them to do, to change behaviour, which is evident. We welcome their recent announcement with their GLNG joint venture partners, where they will be supplying 30 petajoules of gas to the east coast domestic market. (Time expired)
