To be absolutely clear: I'm not, for one moment, reflecting on the integrity of the minister. I have a lot of time for the minister. As to the appropriate place for legislation improving workplace health and safety for offshore oil and gas workers: I just genuinely don't understand for a moment how it is appropriate to mix that with completely unrelated legislation that has the effect of weakening environmental rules and safeguards for offshore coal and gas projects. So I would hope that the minister can go further than just simply saying, 'It's the right thing to do,' or, 'It's the appropriate place to do it.'
