Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I might be able to assist the minister here with my supplementary question. Can the minister confirm that the Minister for the Environment has sole federal responsibility for environmental approval of the Shenhua Watermark coalmine under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act? Can he confirm that the Minister for Resources and the Minister for Indigenous Affairs are the only ministers required to be consulted by the Minister for the Environment in relation to the Shenhua Watermark coalmine?
