I have a final question in regard to offshore wind before I move on to forestry. I have a concern, having spoken to a number of potential providers of offshore about the sites they have been granted versus the ones that will be coming up in the future. I believe the competition for those sites may be problematic in terms of the ability of the firms to deliver, which impacts the viability of those projects. I know the licensing that had been granted for the initial stages of delivery would far exceed the target of 7 GW by 2030. However, are there concerns within the Department or the Government as to the viability of some of these projects, given there is competition between firms in terms of the ability to deliver for 2030?
