Thanks, Senator Ciccone, for the question. The Commonwealth government has given supply indications for vaccines out to each state over a considerable period of time. We continue to work with the states as those vaccine supplies are confirmed from our suppliers. We will continue to do that. We have given supply indications to each of the states, we have met those supply indications and we continue to work with the states in circumstances as we are working with Victoria right now to ensure that they have the maximum available supply that we can provide to them to support their vaccine rollout. There have been 150,000 additional Pfizer vaccines to Victoria over four weeks, 170,000 additional AstraZeneca vaccines to the Victorian state government over six weeks and over 330,000 additional doses to our primary care providers.
