I want to put to you a few facts from the Wangan and Jagalingou people, the claim group, and ask for your response based on contentions that you have put in this chamber about there having been majority support for Adani's Carmichael mine ILUA, which the W&J people refute. They say that on three occasions since 2012, the natural majority of the claim group have rejected an ILUA with Adani. They also say that in a meeting at which the current ILUA under application was voted upon that, whilst the vote was 294 to one, over 220 of the meeting's attendees were people who have never been involved in the Wangan and Jagalingou claim, and in fact that those people were bussed in at Adani's' expense. I seek your response to those facts.
