I seek to clarify an answer that I gave earlier today in question time. During question time Senator Kirk asked me about the Rau compensation claim. The answer I gave her confused the Rau and Alvarez compensation claims. I take the opportunity to make it clear: it is the Alvarez claim that we expect to be resolved very shortly. That was done by arbitration. That is all as is. But the Rau compensation claim is not resolved. That is one that was and still is affected by the issue of third party.
