Thank you. That was in no way my question, Minister. So I'll ask it to you again very simply. It's not question time, where a preamble can be used as a reason for not answering the question. I was trying to give you the context of my question, respectfully. I'll quote again from the article by Michael Smith, North Asia correspondent, on 26 July. He said:

Mr Bowen also said Labor supported special legislation that would allow Santos to send carbon dioxide from its $5.8 billion Barossa project across an international border to the Timor Sea.

Minister, is this legislation, the sea dumping bill before us, the 'special legislation' that Mr Bowen was referring to in these comments?
