Senator Hanson, a couple of times now I've talked about the environmental impact assessment. It is required, amongst other things, to assess the chemical and physical properties of the CO2. That's because parties agree that they will need to manage any impacts that might arise if the project were allowed to proceed. That's why that information would be sought as part of the environmental impact assessment. I have set out on a number of occasions throughout this debate the requirements that would be in place for proponents that were seeking to undertake projects in Australian waters.
