I want to put Labor's position on the record. These amendments have been presented with no indication of consultation with industry. Labor have consulted with industry, who have argued that technical advice should have been provided alongside this proposal to inform the amendment given its complexity. This reform is too important to rush through amendments which could have unintended consequences for the safety of these projects and the environment. On that basis, we'll be opposing the amendment.
