It's not for the Minister for Defence and me, in my capacity representing him, to talk about the location of any future national radioactive waste management facility. As the senator would know, that is a matter for the Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science and the minister who represents her in this chamber. I was going to say in my earlier remarks that the Woomera prohibited area represents a unique part of Australia, particularly for some defence activities. I don't have any further detail to provide to the senator on that, but I'll take any other aspects of his question on notice and return to the chamber if I can provide any more information.
