Senator Waters, as I indicated when we last discussed this, I do think it's difficult to give a definitive answer without understanding what the overall profile of the emissions over time of the operation of a facility might be. However, yes, in the main, if this is a covered facility, no matter the scale of the increase, it would engage an obligation to make such a notification. I just make a clarification. I may have misheard this, but just for clarity: the obligation that we're discussing would sit within the Climate Change Act not within the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act.
