Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I can only hope that the government become as thorough with mines as they are with wind farms. The Mount Emerald wind farm project will provide power in the Cairns region for up to 75,000 thousand homes a year. Does the government understand the benefit that renewable energy provides to the country and why it is so important that projects of this nature are given prompt consideration?
