My recollection is that the EPBC reforms are further down the path in terms of the consultation and policy process, but that is only a recollection, and I'll certainly get you some further information about that. We went to the election with a commitment in relation to the EPBC. The process that I've outlined was the consultation process that Ms Ley started. They are separate processes, and obviously we had an election commitment in relation to the EPBC Act, which I've no doubt Ms Plibersek is ensuring she is working on. In terms of how the government would envisage those two reform processes or consultation processes interacting, let me ask if Ms Plibersek's office can provide you with any further information.
