Yes. We are going to close Moneypoint, which burns coal to produce energy and is just up the road from the location at which the proposed LNG facility is to float. I ask all the scientists here whether it makes sense to close a coal-burning depot and import LNG. While Ms Walsh has made a good submission, she has not gone into detail on some of the human impact on communities. I refer to the levels of cancer among children, etc. That would be well worth hearing. Before Mr. McElligott goes, was he ever offered money to pull back from his campaign against the LNG facility?
