I will bring in Mr. Curtin next because I know he wants to come in. It is in relation to Senator McDowell's question on public engagement and the obstacles that are out there around buy-in, public engagement and giving the community a sense of ownership of going to the next level of renewable energy, be it housing insulation or local communities enabling themselves to invest in renewables. Perhaps Mr. Curtin could give examples of this because I know he alluded to it in his presentation. It would be very helpful to us as politicians in rolling this out and helping communities empower themselves to take ownership of it.
