Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Given that the minister has confirmed that the government considers the heads of agreement to be a binding agreement but also considers that it is at liberty to break that provision of the heads of agreement dealing with state and territory royalties by imposing a cap against the terms of the agreement, is this not just another example, along with all the other broken promises, from a carbon tax to detention centres, that this government’s word is not worth a thing?
