I thank the minister for his response. Some of the issues that the minister raised obviously relate to other amendments, and I will save my questions on those issues for when we deal with the amendments. I want to go back to the precautionary principle and, in particular, point to the fact that the Queensland act does address the precautionary principle. I ask the government: given the fact that the Queensland legislation addresses the precautionary principle, why can't we address it more fully in this piece of legislation?
