I think that Senator Siewert makes my case. We have a report of the state EPA into the existing brickworks which shows that the state Labor government, who have the audacity and the hypocrisy to criticise me for going through one of the most robust and thorough environmental assessment processes available within the Commonwealth of Australia, do not enforce their own rules. They do not allow public consultation and they do not enforce their own rules. I suggest that the senator awaits Mr Truss’s decision. I am quite sure that that will be made well within the statutory time frames. I will be very happy—as long as Mr Truss is happy, and I am sure he will be—to ensure that my full report is released to the public.
