I refer to the fact that the complaints that precipitated this review about salmon farming in Macquarie Harbour were launched by the left-wing think tank The Australia Institute, the Bob Brown Foundation and then, of course, the Labor Party's taxpayer funded Environmental Defenders Office. Does the minister now agree that funding the EDO to engage in lawfare that destroys jobs is a mistake and funding should be stopped, or will the minister bow to the pressure of green groups and sacrifice Tasmanian jobs as a result?
