I am again asked a question that asserts an opinion based on factual assertions in the question that we do not accept. No doubt Senator Brandis will jump to his feet if I point that out, but I am not able to respond in any other way than to point out that the questioner, Senator Birmingham, is again putting facts that we do not accept and that do not accord with the answers I have given previously and nor do they accord with the documentation that is in the public arena.

It is the case that there is a multistage approach from 2021 that assumes various actions being taken by different nations, including OPEC. That is clearly laid out in the modelling.
