Mr President, I have a second supplementary question. What is the environment minister doing about Clive Palmer's proposals to dump millions of litres of contaminated water from his Yabulu nickel refinery into the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage area, despite installing a wastewater treatment plant seven years ago which was meant to avoid the tailings dams overtopping? Is the minister really going to let Clive Palmer turn the reef into his own personal rubbish dump?
