There are four projects that I'm aware of that are currently exploring the possibilities to import CO2. They include Sea Store 1 in Western Australia, CarbonNet in Victoria, SEA CCS hub in Victoria and the Darwin LNG hub in the Northern Territory. I'm aware also that the Timor-Leste government had indicated their interest in exploring possibilities in their waters. But, as I indicated—or tried to indicate—in my second reading remarks, the nature of the framework that would be legislated if the bill before us passed would require, in accordance with the terms of the London protocol, bilateral agreement to be established between the two nations where a transboundary movement was proposed. It was on that basis that I made I think the self-evident point that that would take some time.
