My next question is about allocation schemes. I know Brian O'Gorman was only speaking for Clúid but nobody in the session earlier said they had asked for this change. I am not opposed to it in principle but so far only one hypothetical case has been discussed. We all know it is not a hypothetical case and that it is based on a real potential live project which Senator Cummins mentioned in the private briefing. Where has this come from? It seems it is not an attempt to put in place a comprehensive allocation scheme but that there is a particular issue, challenge or problem in a project which this legislation tries to facilitate or fix. Is that a fair read?
