I reject the premise of your question, Senator Milne. Minister Burke and I have answered questions on this extensively. The protections that are included and the considerations that the minister used utterly show that your question is without foundation. We have gone through a process that is thorough and we have consulted extensively. We will continue to work closely with the states and we will continue to make independent judgements, as the minister is charged to do on a variety of issues. I fundamentally reject your premise in the way that you have defined your question.
