It would be inconsistent to say there was no threat to the birds and then to shift the turbines. I think that the proper course is to wait for me to get the advice from the department and make an informed decision. I will do it in a timely manner. I have said I will do that. There is no use in employing any more lawyers in this. If the proponents had wanted to call the department or me, they would know that, but they obviously prefer to communicate through the media, lawyers and the Australian Labor Party. The media and lawyers are probably sensible people through which to communicate, but to communicate through Senator Carr in the Senate is a very inappropriate and, I would say, unreliable communications mode.
