I ask Senator McLucas to point out to me under 435B where the environment is taken into account. As I read it, the expert panel has the function of advising the minister and it goes under whether there is significant risk as to a key petroleum operation—rah, rah, rah—so in terms of the key petroleum operation. There is nothing in that list, as I can see it, that is telling me about environmental concerns. It is all about risks to companies. Could you tell me where in that list the minister must talk to this expert advisory panel about the environmental impacts associated with leakage.
