Thank you, Senator. I also welcome Mr Simms back to the Senate. I can indicate that the Albanese government and Minister Plibersek make decisions in accordance with the facts and national environmental law, and that is what happened in this case and in every case. We will continue to consider each project on a case-by-case basis under the law. The project will primarily contribute domestic gas supply for households and Australian manufacturing, including for glass, bricks, cement and food packaging. I understand the approval comes with conditions to protect nature, including strict limits on habitat loss.
