I thank the minister and look forward to the reply on notice. I ask a supplementary question. Is it true that the Federal Court suspended hearings last week because the Minister for the Environment is doing an assessment of the failure of measures to allow the lungfish to move to and fro past the Paradise Dam on the Burnett River—the other river—which is its natural habitat? Will the minister be ensuring that he takes into account also the 2007 University of Technology, Sydney, report when looking at prudent and feasible alternatives to the Traveston dam?
