by leave—I will make a short statement correcting something I said at question time. In answer to a question from Senator Sterle during question time I referred to Fortescue Metals Group as having a gross market capitalisation of around $50 billion. That was an error. I misspoke. I did not read my notes properly. I have been advised that their actual gross market capitalisation is around $20 billion. I just wanted to correct the record.
