It's a confronting thing to be through, but look, I'm super proud of the way the team has managed it.
I think there's just, as I said at the beginning, just textbook response has certainly kept people safe and certainly put us in the best position to recover from this.
So an excellent job right across the board, including all the response agencies that turned up and have been there ever since.
It's been a tremendous community effort, actually.
No, we won't.
We don't know.
We won't know for some time.
Obviously, the focus since the fire was really managing the incident and making the area safe.
And this was a top priority for now.
The time for investigating the cause of the incident is obviously ahead of us, as for now the focus has been on keeping people safe and
getting the area under control and safely restoring operations as well so that we can maintain production.
So that's been the work the team's done over the last week.
It's nearly been a week since the incident.
Obviously, an incident like this, a fire in a refinery, is something we work incredibly hard to ensure doesn't occur.
And that covers the design of the plants, the way we maintain them, the inspection programs we have, including how we operate the plants.
It is something that we put a lot of attention to and a lot of investment in, so it's pretty disappointing for everybody involved when something like this happens, as well as quite confronting as well.
So that's been a key focus of just responding to that.
Our safety programs are obviously also designed to, if something like this does happen, our response is absolutely critical because the most impactful thing you can do
in the event you do have an incident like this, is obviously respond well, contain the fire, protect people and protect assets.
