My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for the Environment and Water, Senator Wong. I refer to yesterday's Twitter announcement by Ms Plibersek that she will block Central Queensland Coal's application to operate a coalmine 130 kilometres from Rockhampton. How many people would have been employed at the mine, and what would its economic impact have been for Queensland and Australia if it had been approved?
