I do really need to put on the record my concern about it being a single price, as you can probably imagine. I come from a regional area, and I would like to call out that, if the government has sought for IHACPA to price transport on a single price, that would demonstrate, I think, a lack of understanding about the real challenges that are faced by people who live in rural, regional and remote Australia. I also would note that there is a big difference between regional Australia, rural Australia and remote Australia. So I put on the record that we would be absolutely horrified if the determination came back from IHACPA that there was a single price in relation to transport. If there is any further information that you can add in relation to the direction that was given to IHACPA in terms of how you would like transport to be priced, I would appreciate that. But, if there is not, I'll move on to my next question.
