To correct Senator Brown: I said this before, but let me reiterate that this government consults with industry bodies. It does so in relation to all sorts of different industries, right across governmental action. Sometimes departments in their liaisons will agree with industry; sometimes not. But this is just another forum for advice to government. Industry groups do not have vetoes over departments or governmental advice. This government does not work like that.
