I thank the witnesses. We acknowledge the diversity of the PPN and the unlikelihood that it would have been able to agree a common position. While there is no statement from the PPN, we hope its representatives will contribute as part of the questioning process. If witnesses wish to come in on a question from a member, I ask them to indicate and I will try to get as many people in as I can. The first speaker is Senator Fitzpatrick.
