My question is to the Minister for Resources. Labor promised to strengthen environment laws and back the Uluru statement, but, after big gas corporation Santos wrote to them and complained about traditional owners winning court cases, Labor rammed a bill through the House that gives the resources minister the power to override the Federal Court decisions and remove existing protections. Why is Labor working with the climate-denying Liberals to fast-track climate-destroying gas projects and weaken the voices of First Nations traditional owners?
