Fair enough, but I can't imagine they, for example, requested that the Australian parliament pass this sea-dumping protocol, the London protocol, to help facilitate a project in their national interest. Presumably we're going through this process now so Australian companies, with Australian investments, can import—you mentioned a few examples there—or export our pollution across national boundaries. Is the minister aware that the Japanese investors in the Barossa project have raised this with the Australian government several times? Is that the minister's understanding?
