I thank Senator Thorpe for the question. Again, I might need your indulgence to come back and provide you with some further information if I am able to. I am aware that there is more understanding of the impacts of PFAS chemicals and the prevalence of it. I think it previously had been seen to be largely on defence sites and in areas like that, but certainly people are becoming aware that it is more prevalent. I will take some further advice on the issues you raise about contamination and water.
