Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Can the minister confirm that Windpower’s new submission outlines how the minister acted illegally in blocking their original proposal? Doesn’t the proposal also clearly confirm that the minister misled the public over his claims that the project would kill one parrot every year instead of one bird every thousand years? Doesn’t this confirm what we all know: the minister abused his power and then misled the public to try to cover his tracks? Isn’t this why it is widely expected that he will be demoted over Christmas?
