My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for the Environment and Water, Senator McAllister. Minister Plibersek yesterday tried to equate the blocking of the billion-dollar, near-1,000-job-McPhillamys-goldmine tailings dam with a proposal to relocate a go-kart track. Given Regis Resources had already spent $200 million on the mine by the time of Ms Plibersek's decision, and to help us better understand the accuracy of the minister's attempted comparison, could the minister tell us what each of the equivalent figures for the go-kart track were?
