As I've indicated—and perhaps that answer wasn't very clear—the parliament has already legislated to provide this funding to the Great Barrier Reef Foundation. Indeed, it was legislated with bipartisan support through this chamber. It's a very important additional investment into the future health of the Great Barrier Reef. Of course, as far as the other parts of the question are concerned, the government will continue to comply and work consistent with all of the relevant rules governing government procurements.
