Senator Pocock, I've sought to indicate in earlier answers that the process would be analogous to the way that consultation on applications occurs under other environmental legislation—specifically, that the proponent is required to demonstrate that they meet the consultation requirements associated with submitting an application for a permit. Those requirements would be set out by the department as a standardised requirement, and they would form part of a broader set of informational obligations that proponents would be required to meet before submitting an application. You did ask a multipart question. You've been distressed at different times when I haven't answered all of your multipart questions in each answer. If I've missed something, please feel free to raise it again.
