It is not unusual for the Labor Party members from Western Australia to squeal very loudly about this, because when the environmental report is released it will show the incredible dereliction of environmental duty by their comrades in the WA state government. It will show that they have approved massive expansions of the brick production capacity in the Swan Valley without any environmental approval, without any public consultation and without any possibility for the residents of Hazelwood or the Swan Valley or any of the suburbs near the existing brickworks to have a say on it. Yet they want to score cheap political shots here. The Australian Labor Party members in the state parliament and in this parliament will be deeply embarrassed when my environmental report is released.
