Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. The minister apparently was not aware that the question I asked was exactly about hydrodynamic modelling; that is, the impact on Bass Strait dilution and dispersion. What I asked was: how is Dr Godfrey’s assessment of the misleading nature of Gunns’ marine modelling going to be taken into account? Will the minister stop the clock so that it can be taken into account? If the minister gets it wrong and the government does approve a project which pollutes Bass Strait and destroys the fishery and the marine environment, who will be liable for compensation?
