Can I just say that I thought that the Australian Labor Party’s position was to support my decision. I suggest that Mr Albanese should talk to Senator Crossin. She is sending very mixed signals about the Australian Labor Party’s support for what I regard as a very sound environmental decision. They are all over the place on the environment, so it is not surprising to me that Senator Crossin should contradict her environment spokesman on this issue.

Our position is clear. I know that Mr Tollner does not like it, but I have a lot of respect for him as a very effective member of the parliament who stands up for the Territory’s interests—clearly not something that Senator Crossin is that good at at this stage.
