Question: Lyndon Fagan - JP Morgan Chase & Co, Research Division - Analyst : Look, the first question, Paul, is just on achieved pricing for thermal. When do you expect that to return to the sort of premiums that we saw for the group overall? Is it a gradual kind of return to that? Or is it more related to destocking some of the inventory affected? I guess there's not too much of it at Narrabri by that intrusion. I've got another question after that.

Question: Lyndon Fagan - JP Morgan Chase & Co, Research Division - Analyst : Okay. Great. And then the second question was really just about trying to understand the labor issue at Maules a bit better. So there's obviously 50 to 60 people that left the business. You mentioned it's not all about money, and there's now a different cultural setting coming through. But I guess I'm just trying to understand what the root cause of all of that was and trying to get a view on, I guess, how easy it is to resolve.
