This bill is being hurried through to patch up Adani's massive coalmine and, potentially, also to patch up Fortescue's and Rio's ILUAs, and you are telling me it is not relevant? I think that is patently ridiculous and I am sure anybody bothering to listen will be outraged at the government refusing to disclose what is potentially the key purpose behind this bill—the key motivation. Of course, it is very interesting to note that many of those companies have donated to your side of politics—probably also to the opposition as well—so I find your refusal to engage an abuse of process.
