We have indicated that we've undertaken in the Northern Territory, because that's the only bilateral that's been finished, to put in $120 million a year and that the Northern Territory would be matching it. So, that is the way it's going. We are looking to the states and territories, who I suspect actually withdrew. So in the places where we're requiring NPRH to be built, there was a decision by those jurisdictions to act by not spending a cent of the funds that the Commonwealth invests and that they should invest in remote communities. We've yet to find out if that is the case. I hope I'm wrong, but I have seen absolutely no evidence to demonstrate that they have taken any other course. (Time expired)
