Just by way of example, the port of Port Hedland is obviously a significant economic driver both for the economy of Western Australia and the economy of Australia and so, if there were some resilience measures that could be put in place in terms of natural disasters in that port, I would hope that this would be considered, even though the population of that area is very small. I'll take that as a comment, and I will absolutely take you up on your offer for a further briefing and consultation on the matter.

To move back to Senator Barbara Pocock's question about the investment strategy of the Future Fund, are you proposing an extension of investment restrictions as part of the finance minister's consultation with the Future Fund?
