In my speech on the second reading and also on NRF I have spoken about my concerns around a specific company, Orica, and their ammonium nitrate production. You've just mentioned that ammonium nitrate is now a carve-out. My understanding is, taking some time so there can be conversation, that Orica may have been in discussions with the government and received some sort of carve-out on the understanding that with some grandfathered contracts to 2029 there may be a carve-out in this form, or some other legislation or delegated legislation to come. Could you tell me how that might come about, what form that is in, and how we could give certainty for that investment decision into Gladstone if that is the case?
