The Minister will love this. I will go back to LNG. Can I get a sense of the Minister's decision-making process around that? He referred to an existing planning application. I will not ask him to talk about that. At the time, was the Minister advised that allowing for the State's strategic reserve could or would lead to planning applications for commercial LNG being revisited? Did the Minister consider any further clarification of the policy about the importation of fracked gas via commercial LNG infrastructure at the time he was making the decision around the strategic reserve? Was that perceived as a risk at the time?
