I think what I have in my brief is the pledge. If I'm wrong, I will come in and give you some further information. But I'm advised that, of the 22 nations that signed the pledge, 18 already have a nuclear energy industry. So only four, obviously—Moldova, Morocco, Poland and Mongolia—signed the pledge as countries without nuclear power. A number of countries with nuclear energy industries did not sign the pledge, and Australia joined 117 other countries to sign a pledge to triple global renewable energy capacity, which reflects the priorities that we have and the priorities of the government.
