00:09ESG and carbon platform. So we started off with our iconic wine glass brand in 1879

00:16and have built up to about 3.5 million hectares, 300,000 cattle and about 20,000 hectares of cropping.

00:23In terms of local community, probably good examples at Newcastle Water Station, the Mullinger community

00:30there. It's about eight hours drive from Darwin. The local school there, we have children at the

00:37school plus the local community. The ringers from the station and Head Stockman will go down and play

00:42sport with the kids some afternoons each week. They'll also help with cooking and education.

00:50We provide a lot of meat to that community so they've got fresh beef and then we do a lot of

00:56the work around the community in terms of grading roads and rubbish disposal and fire control and

01:02we've been helping them. Recently we've moved to a solar energy program that's going to see the whole
