There are 215 facilities currently captured under the safeguard mechanism, as I understand it, and about 30 per cent, 66 facilities or projects, are across Western Australia, my home state. Thirty per cent is a big chunk, considering we good Western Australians make up 6.9 per cent of the population. Can you guarantee that, because of the changes that have been implemented as part of this bill and the amendments that have been agreed to with the Greens, there won't be projects, particularly in Western Australia, that would have been viable but will no longer be viable? Can you guarantee that that is not the case?
