Markus Svensson:The domestic market is developing well. We know travel continues to be really important for our customers since COVID and that's just continuing across domestic and international. So it's developing really well. We're actually seeing all segments performing, performing well. performing well, from leisure to corporate to small-medium business, so all across the spectrum. The A321 is a game changer for domestic and also for short-haul international. The capability, the range of that aircraft, the customer benefits or the customer experience, it's definitely going to change how we fly domestically but also short-haul international. So we are really, really excited about that aircraft. We took delivery of the first A321XLR up in Hamburg a couple of weeks ago. I was happy, or fortunate, to be there, which was great. We're getting a second one in August and then one more before Christmas, and hopefully by end of June next year we will have 7. So they keep on coming and they will keep on coming. So really important for us to get those aircraft and really excited about them. So sustainability is really important for Qantas. It's something we all, not just Qantas, the whole industry's got to be committed to. Obviously, we have a number of investments. We are using SAF, we are uplifting SAF where we can uplift SAF, and we're going to push really hard to make sure that we meet our targets in terms of SAF usage and also supporting very much so an industry in this country.
