The white-bellied sea eagles and orange-bellied parrots actually have their habitat right near the coast. They are migratory birds. You can move the turbines some miles from the coast. They have actually agreed with me and say that the wind turbines did impose an unacceptable risk to not only orange-bellied parrots but white-bellied sea eagles—the very same birds that the Victorian Labor government used to stop two other wind projects substantially larger than the Bald Hills project. So the hypocrisy of Labor on this knows no bounds. We look forward to receiving in my office the application from my department. I have promised the proponents that, when it comes in, I will make a timely decision. I will stand by that promise.
