I think the evidence from Geoscience Australia to the committee that examined this was that there is no recorded or reported evidence of any leakage from a commercial CO2 storage site. Senator Hanson, I said this to you yesterday in response to a question you asked me: I think the more relevant issue is whether these projects will emerge as a commercially sustainable proposition. That's why, in my contributions over the last few days, I've emphasised the commercial decisions taken by the proponents themselves.
