Just to follow up that question from Senator Hanson: my understanding is that the longest established CCS project in the ocean, in Norway—the Sleipner project—has consistently leaked CO2, and that's well documented. In fact, it's one of the most studied geological formations on the planet. It's interesting that Geoscience Australia hasn't been able to read the literature that's available. It's also reflected in the submissions made to the inquiry. I just wanted to put that on record. Is that something that you're aware of, Minister?
