In relation to the issues before the Federal Court, I am not in a position to comment about matters before the court, Senator Brown, and I think that would not come as any surprise to you. The minister is aware of current civil action associated with Paradise Dam. I can indicate that fishway design and effectiveness, including under drought and climate change scenarios, is relevant to the minister’s decision on Traveston dam and will be examined closely.
