I'll indicate to the chamber that I don't intend to move amendments (1) to (6) on sheet 8965, revised. But I will urge the government as it moves forward, noting the division in Kimba, noting the fact that this process has been completely botched to get to the point where it has, that it will almost certainly go to judicial review if it picks Napandee. There is an alternative that makes a lot more sense. You have to be able to stand up to those uniformed people who have made a claim that is outrageous in the context of the site at the WPA—12.7 million hectares, 13 per cent of South Australia, twice the size of Tasmania. Not all of the site is used for missile testing. It is in the middle of a desert. It's on a secure Defence site. The community are likely to be much, much warmer to the idea and, indeed, it is not agricultural land.
