Prime Minister
Prime Minister: Well, here we are at Pelican Shores in Kalbarri, seeing the terrible devastation and there are many such scenes as I tour around the community today. I’ve spoken to those who have been deeply affected by what has occurred here. I’ve also had the opportunity, together with Reece and Melissa and the team to thank those who have been turning up to come to the aid of those here in Kalbarri.
We've seen too many disasters in this country over recent years. But on each occasion, the Australian spirit and the Australian response is truly humbling. Whether it's those who are turning out to help their fellow Australians, travelling great distances. There are people who are coming here to Kalbarri, a small town in a very remote part of Western Australia, they're coming from other states, they're coming from New South Wales, they're coming from Perth, and they're coming here to help, and their response is extraordinary. But then there are those who have been impacted themselves directly. Meeting some of those volunteers today, they themselves have had their homes and their businesses destroyed, but there they are, supporting, once again, as we've seen on so many occasions, supporting their fellow Australians, even though they themselves have suffered considerable loss.
My message to the people of Kalbarri today is that Australia is standing with you, as Australia has stood with all of those Australians who have faced such terrible natural disasters. The immediate need is to provide the urgent support, whether it's the emergency payments, which I'll ask Melissa Price to speak a bit more about in a moment, or the work that has been done by the state government which Reece can speak to as well. But Australia is standing with the people of Kalbarri and the broader Northampton region, because it isn't just what has occurred in this town, as we have been hearing today. Of course, the devastation that we've seen in the tourism businesses that are here. I met a young women today and her son whose boat hire business has been devastated and we've been up to Rainbow Jungle and it is a magic place and I can imagine what it would have been like before this storm hit and today it is a scene of devastation. But the resolve of the people of this community to want to restore what has been lost and make it even better than it was before, I think, is truly admirable in the Australian spirit.
But beyond these towns, there is the agricultural producers and those who are getting crops in, which will also be devastated, and they will see a full year, I would have thought, of income that they won't be able to generate. The disaster payments, the recovery arrangements that are put in place that we provide are there to help those communities rebuild. To help those producers restore their income-producing businesses in the agricultural sector, and to help people clear the debris from their homes and to ensure that they can restore hopefully as much of what was lost as possible.
So that's where we are today. I particularly want to thank the Australian Defence Forces, who are here in force, and more will be provided as is needed. But so far, the response from state-based services, both here in Western Australia and from many other states, is greatly appreciated. What they need right now is people to help to clear the debris and to clean up and to get to the next phase of recovery. The recovery plans, I was very impressed today by the briefing I received, and they're moving through the immediate response and they're now already starting to draw up recovery plans about how Kalbarri and the broader district can recover. I was also incredibly impressed by the work that had been done to prepare this district for the ferocious cyclone that was coming. Some 7,000 or so, wasn't there, Reece, people who were in this town before that cyclone hit and the commander of the local SES made sure that people got out. That clearly saved lives. That quick thinking, that experience that was needed in that moment, the work that was done as a community to get people to safety was extraordinary and we are now in the position where the injuries here are minor, substantially, and there has certainly been no loss of life and that is, indeed, a miracle, given what we've seen happen as a result of this terrible cyclone.
So the work will continue. The cooperation will be there. The payments on 1802266, I already know, I've spoken to quite a number of people who have accessed those and still some who have been a bit too busy to do it. But it was great to hear that when people have got on that number they've found it an easy process and the money has been in their account on the same day and that is what people need at a time like this. And we’ve extended the range of those payments today and I will ask Melissa to speak to that,. But it is not just the disaster recovery payment, $1,000 for adults and $400 for each child, there is also income support for businesses that have lost because of the interruption of their work or their businesses and that goes on for 13 weeks. These types of payments have been incredibly important. The Premier and I, based on the recommendations we've received from our ministers, Minister Littleproud and Reece, of course, we’ll be working through those state and federal further cooperations as part of the recovery program. Our professionals who work in the area of relief and recovery are world-class and they have to deal with these things all the time and they swing into action very quickly and I'm always in awe of their professionalism, as I have been here again today.
So I'll ask Melissa to just update on you where you can get that support and the broadening of the assistance into further areas that will need that support. But my message to all of those who have been affected is this - you are not alone, you are not isolated, the whole country is feeling for you at this very, very difficult time, and is there to help. Please make yourself available to receive that help. Western Australians, they're self-starting people, and they don't like asking for help. But that help is there for you now and I urge you - I urge you - to take up that help and to look out for each other in the weeks and months that are ahead. There will be further counselling support and other mental health support services that always flow in these circumstances, and that's very important, but the people who can look after each other best in a community are the members of that community themselves. Melissa.
The Hon. Melissa Price MP, Member for Durack: Thank you, Prime Minister. I think I speak on behalf of the Kalbarri community when I say how grateful they were when the Army, when the troops, arrived, and I'm not just talking about our men and women in khaki. I'm also talking about the hundreds of people that have come all around the state from DFES. So I just want, on behalf of the Kalbarri community, I want to thank our Army, our men and women in uniform, but also DFES. As the Prime Minister has said, the disaster recovery payments and allowances have now been extended. They were previously just with the Shire of Northampton which takes in the town of Northampton and Kalbarri and a few smaller towns in between. Very pleasingly, today the Federal Government has now extended that list and I want to give that list out. These are all local government authorities. If you live in these local government authorities, you could be eligible, so we just want to remind you that number is 1802266. So the following are the local government authorities. If you live in the area of Greater Geraldton, if you live in Chapman Valley, if you live in Mingenew, if you live in Morawa, if you live in Perenjori or Three Springs, as we said there's $1,000 grants for eligible adults and $400 grants for eligible children and as the Prime Minister said there's also supports for businesses. What we've seen today is truly devastating and really the words don't express how I feel, but I'm just so thrilled with the resilience that we've seen here today and as the PM said, we will build back, we will build back better. But people need to know that we are here to help and I'm just so proud of this community. For those farmers out there who feel like you've been forgotten, I want you to know, you have not been forgotten, and I know that DFES together with our Armed Forces, they will be doing a power of work to make sure they understand where the damage is out across the crops, whether it is that shed you can't get into or that tractor you can't get into, I just want you to know that we know that you are in trouble and we are here to help and we will get to you as soon as we can. Thank you.
Reece Whitby, WA Emergency Services Minister: Thank you, Prime Minister, and thank you, Melissa. The message I want to give is to everyone, that we have here a team. We have the Prime Minister, we have the state government, we have the emergency services, we have the Australian Defence Forces working as a team. We're working with the community and we're working with local government and we know the issue is much broader than Kalbarri, as bad as it was here, we know that Northampton and Morawa and Mullewa and Three Springs and Perenjori have been impacted in a devastating way as well. So can I say to all of those communities, wherever you live, whether it is here or right through the Mid West, we are here for you, we are working together, you have the national government, the state government, the local government, the ADF, the emergency first responders, an incredible team of people who are working for your interests. We'll work as hard and we'll work as long as we have to, in order to restore services and to get communities back to normal. The Prime Minister mentioned that Kalbarri holds a special place in the hearts of West Australians. A holiday venue for many, many years, so I know there are many West Australians who can't wait to get back here and support the local community. That cannot happen just yet. We can't let tourists into the town but there will be a time when that's possible and I hope it's soon and when that happens, I expect all of Western Australia, and a good deal of Australia, to want to come to Kalbarri and support this community.
Can I also say that, as a state government, we've appointed Melissa Pexton as our state recovery controller. Melissa was appointed just yesterday afternoon and she has hit the ground running, she is here today, we're at Morawa this morning and Kalbarri today and expect to see Melissa and indeed the Commissioner being constant visitors to the region. She will be your point person on the ground to assist in the whole of the state recovery. Can I again thank the Prime Minister for his contribution, ADF assets, ADF personnel. We've seen the camouflage cavalry ride into town, but also the guys in blue, the guys and girls in orange, it's incredible. Right across Western Australia and, indeed, many states, they are supplying volunteers and professional - rather, volunteers and career personnel to assist here in Kalbarri and across the Mid West. So it's going to take time. The initial response we're getting on top of, we're working very hard to restore services, but the longer journey is also going to be a tough one. It's going to involve reconstruction, it's going to involve restoring the tourism industry here in Kalbarri and to those people in remote farming communities, we haven't forgotten about you, either. We understand that you are suffering, too, and it will take time, but everyone will be responded to in an appropriate way and that assistance will be there and I'll be working with the federal government on the disaster recovery assistance arrangements to ensure, and we've had those conversations already this morning with the Prime Minister, that we will work together as a team on behalf of the people of Kalbarri and the Mid West. Because when the chips are down, Australians get together and work together as a team. So thank you, again, Prime Minister, and Melissa, and I just want to pass it over to our Commissioner, Darren Klemm, to say a few words.
Darren Klemm AFSM, WA Fire and Emergency Services Commissioner: Thanks, Minister, and thanks, Prime Minister. As the thoughts of everyone are moving towards recovery it is also important to understand there is still response effort being undertaken. So the rapid damage assessment crews are out there doing their work and I will provide you today an update of the numbers. So there are 32 buildings that have been totally lost. Of those 32, 23 of those buildings are residential buildings. So they're houses. There are some 875 buildings that have received some form of damage. So that work will continue on. To support that work, we're going to bring in another 15 teams from the eastern states and they'll arrive over the next two days. Great support from the ADF to bring those teams over. So they'll be out on what is 35,000 square kilometres of affected area from this particular cyclone. So there's much to do. We've talked about the towns of Kalbarri and Northampton a lot but we went to Morawa today and saw the damage in that particular region, Mallewa, Perenjori, Mingenew and even Chapman Valley just outside of Geraldton also been affected. But also further inland there's much work to do, and outside of the town sites there's obviously those farmers, people in the agricultural industry whose sheds and houses have been affected. So still much to do in the response phase but at the really complex point in this incident, where thoughts are also moving really strongly towards recovery, the appointment of Melissa yesterday is a really important point of helping the communities start that long process, what will be a long process for many of them, back to the way things were before the cyclone hit. Can I thank all our volunteers out there. It's absolutely fantastic effort. We saw at Wooroloo, saw this same effort at Wooroloo fire back in early February, and once again at the front of this is the State Emergency Services supported by the fire and emergency services volunteers and paid personnel from DFES, and all the other government agencies that are putting effort into this, some 500 DFES personnel, be volunteer or career, are in the region today working to get this community back to normalcy. Can I also thank the many employers out there that have been good enough to let these volunteers be released from their employment to deploy here, either those people in New South Wales and Victoria, those employers over there who have let those people go, or the people here in Western Australia, both for the ADF and for the emergency services volunteers. It is one of the absolutely fantastic things about emergency services in Western Australia and in Australia more broadly, is that the way that the whole community comes together to support everybody else. Thank you.
Prime Minister: Let's take some questions on the issues that we're here to talk about today. I'm happy to go to other things, but particularly while we're all here together, we won't move to federal issues.
Journalist: Prime Minister, you met Dylan Stephenson this morning at the SES headquarters. His house is uninhabitable as a result of the cyclone. He said having a live aid concert or something similar before tourists can come back into this region would be a good idea. Would you be in support of that?
Prime Minister: I'm always supportive of community initiatives like this and I'm sure as you work through all of the recovery issues, I mean, what's most important with any recovery plan is that it has to be, I think, really driven by the local needs. And we have to define what those needs are and what the priorities there are and how we bring those resources together, both as communities and then as state and federal and, indeed, local governments and how that’s achieved. And I have no doubt there will be heaps of ideas and as Reece has said, Kalbarri in particular has a special place in the heart of Western Australians. I mean, the memories that families have here, whether it's Rainbow Jungle, whether they've seen films outdoors and had that experience or been down and enjoyed that wonderful surf and all of these things, the memories of this place will be substantial and I'm sure there will be a great deal of support. So to the extent that relief efforts and things like that will occur, that will need to be coordinated, that will need to be done properly. It’s always important to make sure you do these things in the right way. There is a lot of, I think, genuine, good faith, a willingness to want to provide support, so what I would say is wait until you hear from the authorities about what the official places are where you go to provide the support, and we’ll leave that to the local state authorities to determine that. But in terms of other aid and support, well those opportunities I think will be set out when they’re properly arranged and of course, as Prime Minister, how can you not but just say thank you to those who want to in good faith step forward and provide that much needed not just financial support but I think that great moral encouragement.
Journalist: Prime Minister, appreciate that the disaster relief has been extended geographically, but for people in this area that, you know, don't have a house, don't have a roof, what’s $1,000 going to mean?
Prime Minister: Well, that’s the role that the Federal Government plays, but I’ll let Reece talk about what they’re doing on accommodation in terms of state governments putting accommodation support in place here.
Journalist: Could the Federal Government pitch in more for that?
Prime Minister: Well, I’ll let Reece talk about those arrangements.
Reece Whitby, WA Emergency Services Minister: That aid is designed to support families in the very short-term. When you walk out of a building like this and you don’t have food, you don’t have clothing, you’ve got kids, you need money, you need to buy food and shelter, so that’s that kind of very short-term assistance. The Prime Minister’s also mentioned long-term assistance in terms of financial aid for businesses and individuals and there’s also, we’re working out through the disaster recovery plans more long-term aid for families. So you saw at Wooroloo families that lost everything got a $25,000 payment and then there was another payment after that. So we’re looking at what is appropriate for the community up here. You’ve also got the Lord Mayor Distress Relief Fund and I’d urge everyone to donate money and there’s money coming out of that relief fund in due course, so there will be assistance. That is not the end of it.
Journalist: While you’re there Reece, has the agency, DFES, been too slow to deal and recognise the problems with asbestos in Kalbarri?
Reece Whitby, WA Emergency Services Minister: I don't think so, Geoff. I think that asbestos is a common denominator in any disaster. Buildings built before 1990 tend to have asbestos in them. We know that some of the age of buildings here in Kalbarri are well before that.
Journalist: Yeah the problems with asbestos are well-known but they brought up some stuff to spray it, they haven't been sprayed yet. It’s everywhere in the streets. People are just moving it around. You’ve also said that it's not an immediate threat to lives. That's true, but it kills you in 10 years.
Reece Whitby, WA Emergency Services Minister: Geoff, I think the emergency teams here have responded very quickly and I’d just ask everyone to be patient and understanding. I think we are in day four and a half or day five after the cyclone hit. Services are starting to recommence, as you know. Asbestos is always an issue. I've driven around town and seen areas roped off, where asbestos obviously is in situ, and I think the advice we gave from the very beginning was to stay away from anything you think might be asbestos, whether it was or not, and leave it to the authorities and the proper professionals to dispose of it. We’ve got experts from the State Government, a number of teams from WorkSafe and other experts within DFES who are actually in town assessing the asbestos issues.
Journalist: They got here yesterday, they got here late yesterday or today. So five days after the cyclone. No air monitoring. Has there been air monitoring?
Reece Whitby, WA Emergency Services Minister: I think there’s also expertise already here with the services you have in town, both the career and the volunteer crews are well-versed in how to handle asbestos. They deal with it every time that they go to a house fire. So there’s a lot of knowledge on the ground already. We’ve actually got experts over and above the very expert approach of, regular firefighters have. But asbestos is being handled promptly. We’re getting that blue material to spray over it, to keep it in situ. It's going to have a pigment on it so that people know that it's an issue and we will get onto that as quickly as we can, and I think the emergency crews here have done a remarkable job in a very short amount of time. I was here on Tuesday, now it's Friday, and I've seen a marked change in the way the town looks already. Asbestos, like power lines, are real concerns, and I think they’re being dealt with incredibly professionally and quite quickly.
Journalist: Can we go to other issues with the Prime Minister because there’s people in the east hanging off this as well.
Prime Minister: Are there any other questions that people like to, while we’ve got the team here and want to deal with the cyclone?
Journalist: Yes. A lot of people have been without phone connectivity for a long time. Will you improve the backup power to communication equipment in this region, and across regional WA where this happens?
Prime Minister: Well, I just met the contractor that is here in town right now, I met him earlier today. And that contractor is working that, that relates to NBN services, and they’re working to restore those as quickly as they possibly can. The power situation, I refer to the state agencies to give you an update on that. That’s still some time away yet but the issues such as water and these, all these essentials are what the local authorities are working on quickly to try and restore, but given what has occurred, that’s always a big challenge. Anything you want to add.
Reece Whitby, WA Emergency Services Minister: So in terms of western power, particularly here in Kalbarri, I understand a generator has been attached to one of the accommodation areas, but then they’ve brought in additional generation power. One of the challenges they’re having, particularly here in Kalbarri, and noting that the power is out in many other areas of the impact area of the cyclone, is the intent is to once they’ve re-established some of the lines that are here, some of the infrastructure is not going to be able to support, at this point in time, of being able to turn that generator on.
Journalist: Yeah, this is phone communication, especially, I mean, Kalbarri’s been powered up, but out in the other regions, the other parts of the region, they haven’t been able to call people for, and people are saying that’s as important as hospitals and medicine. What is being done to improve telephone communications during disasters like this?
Reece Whitby, WA Emergency Services Minister: Yeah, so Telstra are a key part of the State Emergency Coordination Group and they've been attending those meetings and they’ve got people on the ground. The tower here in Kalbarri for instance was back on with generator power on Tuesday afternoon, as was, as I understand it, the one in Northampton. Certainly they've got their challenges over 35,000 square kilometres, and we all understand the importance of power to mobile phones, and not just a single tower either, you have to actually connect towers together, so to get one tower on sometimes you’ve got to turn on nine or 10. So it is complex, it is just time at this point, either the power coming back on in terms of being reconnected through the power lines or indeed if they were able to attach generators to mobile phone towers.
Prime Minister: Any other questions?
Journalist: Prime Minister, just to clarify, will there be any more extension of assistance from the Federal Government?
Prime Minister: I expect there will be, there is with every disaster. And the disaster recovery arrangements are a well-established mechanism between the Federal and state governments. And Premier McGowan sent me a text this morning saying, well mate once you’ve been up there, I’m sure there will be other stuff for us to talk about. Reece and I I’m sure will have a chat before I leave today. That’s the way that works. There’s further recovery plans that are put in place and they’ll work on that. That's worked up together with the state authorities and the federal authorities and that comes forward both to me and the Premier to authorise that. And that's how it's worked in every disaster. So we share those costs, we do it together - whether that's producer support payments or small business payments or the payments, the disaster recovery repayments, a thousand of those done directly by the Federal Government - we each know what our responsibilities and what our cost sharing arrangements are. They’re well-established in disasters and we just get on with it.
Journalist: Can I just ask you a question about vaccines now. Regarding the 48-year-old woman who died in New South Wales from AstraZeneca due to blood clotting, will that stop that vaccine from being used?
Prime Minister: No, well, at this point. Those matters are still being investigated at a clinical level and as medical professionals have said and other clinical authorities, that it would be wrong to jump to any conclusions here. The TGA is considering these, that’s the Therapeutic Goods Administration, is considering those issues even now as we speak, the Chief Medical Officer has already made some comments on this. When you have individuals who have comorbidities and other issues, that it’s important that these things are investigated thoroughly to understand any potential causal links, but to make an assumption or to leap to any conclusion about those would be unwise and would potentially be quite unhelpful. So we’ll just wait for the facts and for the clinical advice on those situations.
Journalist: What guarantees have you got that vaccine companies will be able to meet their deadlines for supply?
Prime Minister: Well we’re in the same position as most countries. What we can do is work with the companies that we have, which is CSL here in Australia. We are one of the few countries in the world where there is a sovereign capacity to manufacture vaccines, and we’re seeing their capacity continue to increase. And those vaccines are obviously supporting those aged over 50. Let's not forget our first priority, very first priority on vaccines right now is to vaccine the elderly, particularly those aged over 70. We’re making tremendous progress now through the aged care population. The aged care community has been very responsive and we appreciate that. But for those aged over 70, we encourage you to go and get your vaccination from your GP. We have over 4,000 GPs across the country, surgeries they’re involved in this dissemination. Again, 40,000 Australians were vaccines, got their vaccine yesterday through that GP network, and over 60,000 once again were vaccinated across the country. Now Australia's rate of vaccination is equivalent to Germany and it is now at the same standard. We’ve caught up with the EU as well, that’s the EU average right across all the EU countries. So we are still performing better than countries like Canada and New Zealand and South Korea and Japan. I note with those countries, they, like Australia, are not in a situation where like in the United States you have 1,000 people dying every day from COVID. And so the circumstances in countries where the vaccination rate is much higher, there is an obvious imperative amongst the population because the risk of fatality from COVID is extremely high in comparison to countries like Australia. And so we are making our way, the rate of vaccination is picking up. We’re seeing that. Obviously the medical advice about the rare circumstances where those events can occur with AstraZeneca, dealing with under 50s, that's been made known and that’s being worked through. And we’re still seeing thankfully people coming and getting their vaccinations, and we encourage them to do that.
Journalist: A couple from me, just on the same issue. Prime Minister, will the increase in the superannuation guarantee go ahead as planned?
Prime Minister: The Budget’s in May.
Journalist: You flagged that vaccinated Aussies could be allowed to travel and quarantine at home once they return. When do you envisage that happening?
Prime Minister: Well, that's the question we put to the medical advisers. We did that at the last meeting at National Cabinet. I see that as the sensible next step, and when that can be taken that will be based on when we can fully understand whether that can be done. Obviously people have had to have their two vaccinations in order for them to do that. They would be able to go overseas, the proposal is, come back to Australia and not have to go into hotel quarantine, but be able to do that in some form of home quarantine. Now, it’s imperative for the states and territories to be very involved in that process because ultimately they would have to sign off on those arrangements because they look after public health. And, but the great advantage of that is particularly for business, and if business and other essential travel overseas for Australians, not having to go back through that hotel quarantine process, that would free up hotel quarantine places for other important priorities, which of course is to get Australians and Australian residents home and their families, and that is overwhelmingly what is happening at the moment. And then on top of that, essential people coming into Australia, with essential skills and here in Western Australia, I was up in Karratha this morning, they’re very keen on ensuring we can go ahead with the DAMA Agreement to get more workers into Western Australia. And for that to happen we need to free up hotel quarantine and we need to free up those opportunities so we can pursue down that path. So that's the next step, but as always we’ve been guided by the medical advice and that’s the question we’ve put, and so let's wait for the medical advice before we can set any timetables for next steps.
Journalist: You spoke this morning about Australians’ resilience having been tested by events such as this. Does it sort of underscore the urgency of needing to act on climate change and what can we expect from that in next months’ Budget?
Prime Minister: Well the Budget’s in May, and so I’ll let the Budget be announced in May by the Treasurer, so I don't propose here today to go into the details of the Budget.
Journalist: Including what you're doing for women?
Prime Minister: Well we’ve already made a number of announcements in that area but we’ll be making further announcements at the time of the Budget, and I’ll leave that to the Budget.
Journalist: Who are you barracking for at the footy?
Prime Minister: Well I’ll have to do West Coast tonight. But as you know, I don't follow the AFL, that may come to the disappointment of many AFL fans. But I always enjoy going and I've got to tell you I’m looking forward to going along with Mathias Cormann tonight, I haven’t seen Mathias for a while. I know he's a big West Coast fan, so I wouldn’t be able to sit next to him for the entire game without him cheering for the home side.
Journalist: Will you guarantee all Australian Olympians will be fully vaccinated before they go to Tokyo and will they be put before people who are in phase 1A and 1B?
Prime Minister: We are working with the AOC on that at the moment and we’re working through those issues with them now.
Journalist: All vaccines we’ve ordered, will they get here by the end of the year?
Prime Minister: Well that will depend very much on the supply chains and the production from overseas. We’re no different to any other country. As you know we most recently were able to secure an additional 20 million contracted vaccines out of Pfizer. They aren’t due to arrive until the fourth quarter of this year, which is also when the Novavax vaccines are currently scheduled for. That will always be subject to what the supply chain pressures are going to be around the world. But we have had a pretty consistent supply out of Pfizer. We’ve been very pleased with that. Maybe not completely at the rate that we would have hoped, but still compared to what we've seen from AstraZeneca, our very good performance and working relationship with Pfizer. We are seeing those doses increase every week now and that’s supporting us, particularly given for those under 50, all the health workers, frontline workers, that will enable us to be more effective I think in completing those 1A and 1B. But let me remind people, those 1A and 1B groups are our priority because they are the most vulnerable, and when we can protect the most vulnerable through the vaccine then that gives us that ring of containment of the worst effects of COVID, so we don't see what has occurred in so many other countries. I told a group this yesterday, if we had the same rate of fatality of COVID-19 that is experienced in the OECD, like countries to Australia, 30,000 more people would have died in Australia, 30,000. It is a staggering statistic to reflect on, and I think that reflects I think the strong response we’ve had right around the country and the fact that today we can talk about how many more people are in jobs in this country and that we are experiencing a regrowth of our economy out of the COVID-19 recession. Even as we stand here in the midst of the devastation of this cyclone, that means that in this cyclone we can be here to support because of the strength of the Australian economy and the comeback that we’re seeing. Thank you very much for your attention today.
