My question is to the Minister for the Environment and Water. Scott Reef, off the Kimberley coast, is one of the last untouched jewels in our oceans. It is home to 54 threatened species, including endangered pygmy blue whales and green turtles, which will be at serious risk if you give Woodside a permit to pump gas from under the reef. Will you use your power to prevent the Browse project proceeding in this term of parliament, or was your commitment to no new extinctions just a feel-good media release?
