My question is to Senator McAllister, representing the Minister for the Environment and Water. Tamboran Resources has announced that, any day now, it will commence gas fracking in the Beetaloo basin in the Northern Territory. This is a project that will take over a billion litres of water and generate risky, toxic waste but has not even been assessed for its impact on the environment or indeed the water table. Has the minister bothered to consider pulling the water trigger? Why has the minister not used her powers given to her by this parliament to make sure this project is called in?
