We will respond to the report in a comprehensive way, as the government always do. Professor Samuel made many findings in his report, including in relation to forestry. He also made findings in relation to the way in which the EPBC Act operates for the environment but also for business. We will work alongside stakeholders as we finalise our formal response to the recommendations. In fact, I understand that Minister Ley met with a stakeholder group last week to discuss the process and the work around responding to those recommendations. Professor Samuel's work was comprehensive. He engaged across Australia, and so we will make sure we apply a comprehensive approach to responding to that report too.
