Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Considering that the research underpinning the Commonwealth's approval was so bad that the 2004 Victorian assessment panel found:

… at this stage insufficient information to allow proper assessment against the criteria of no impact on species listed under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act or the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act.

on what basis does the Commonwealth continue to uphold its 2006 approval?
