I again thank Senator Babet for his question. No, we're not going to give up. This is not a government that gives up. I understand what you're saying about the cost overruns for Snowy 2.0, but the reality is that, if we're going to move to that renewable future—to the status, as I described in a previous answer today, of renewables superpower—we do need Snowy 2.0 to work. Despite the underresourcing by the former government and despite all the promises, we will be the government that delivers on that. It's important from this point of view—I'm sorry to keep harping on South Australia, but I happen to know a lot about it— (Time expired)
