MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Premier) (14:27):</by>  The state government has been engaged with other companies who are keen to explore the opportunity around green iron production, what the magnetite resource is we have in the Upper Spencer Gulf and even potential other steelworks, and we have been doing that through our expression of interest process that we commenced last year—right at the beginning of last year, I think it was—through our green iron expression of interest process, which has attracted the interest of a number of companies, both domestically and globally. The government remains engaged with those companies regarding all the opportunities as aforementioned in the Upper Spencer Gulf.</text>
