Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I thank the minister for, I think, essentially reading the environment minister's media release instead of a response. How does this approval accord with ALP policy and election commitments on uranium mining standards in the ALP national platform, which state that Labor will only allow the mining of uranium under the most stringent conditions and will ensure that Australian uranium mining, milling and rehabilitation is based on world's best practice standards, when the approval at Roxby Downs does not even meet criteria set for uranium mining in the Northern Territory?
