00:00So if we're thinking about what are the big things for Australian corporate at the moment,
00:04as always water is always top of mind. So we're going to be seeing again a continuation of almost
00:11two and a half, three decades of water reform as we go forward. We've still got the finalisation
00:16of the current basin plan and then we're running straight into the review in 2026 of the basin
00:22plan and presumably moving to basin plan mark two. We're seeing talk about a new national water
00:28agreement or initiative, so top of mind. Some of the things that's going to be at us in that
00:33water space is how to deal with climate change effectively, what is cultural water and what
00:39impact will that have on water availability as time goes forward. Much bigger emphasis around
00:45compliance and metering and measurement, so all those things will continue and probably build.
00:49So they're major issues for us as an industry.
