My question is to the Minister for the Environment and Heritage, Senator Ian Campbell. I refer to the minister’s deliberation on how to protect the heritage values of the Burrup Peninsula. Is the minister aware of other appropriate sites for development in the Pilbara region? Does the minister believe that the best way to promote development and return to the heritage values on the Burrup is for heavy industry to be encouraged to alternative sites such as Onslow or Maitland or the joint venture site on the Burrup? If so, is the federal government willing to support measures encouraging industry to set up in alternative locations?
