I'm trying to provide to you the information that's been provided to us and indeed I think to the House committee by Geoscience Australia, who, as I indicated earlier, stated that there is no recorded or reported evidence of any leakage from a commercial storage site. And I think the evidence is that if a suitable site is selected and the gas is stored and monitored carefully then the risk of carbon dioxide gas leaking is very low.
