It's highly subjective. Perhaps what I can say is that, when the Australian government considers its emissions projections, one of the things it contemplates is the level of economic activity, and, of course, population size is a feature of projections for economic activity. I might indicate also that I have some advice in relation to your question about the emissions in the period you referenced. It is an approximation, but between 1 July 2020 and 1 July 2023 it is around 420 million tonnes.
