Thank you. I refer to the Browse Basin LNG processing plant planned for James Price Point in the Kimberley and ask: are you aware that Woodside, the proponent for the development, has significantly underestimated the number of whales in the area? Given that the community science monitoring program has so far identified 1,698 whales within eight kilometres of the shore in five weeks, compared to Woodside's assessment of 1,000 whales for the entire migration season, how are you addressing this gross underestimation in your current assessment process?
