Yes, briefly. I understand the Senator O'Sullivan's sentiment on this issue. I understand that the EPA has no remit in respect of the offshore and therefore it would not be involved in that area. I have a hunch this is an area that will be raised either in this or the other House in the very near future in terms of a Bill or a study. I believe it is an issue we will discuss in the very near future. There is no victory until such time as this Bill passes in its present form and I would not like to see any amendment made to it that could comprise the legality, or otherwise, of it. I again ask the Senator not to press her amendment.
