Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I refer to one of the nation's largest and most prolific environmental groups, the National Farmers' Federation, and their refusal to support the Turnbull government's amendments to the EPBC Act because its risks 'denying farming groups and individual farmers the right to appeal against government decisions that they believe are going to adversely affect farming communities or individuals operations.' Attorney-General, is the National Farmers' Federation correct?
