My question is for the Minister representing the Minister for the Environment and Water, Minister Watt. In the space of two months, we've seen Labor bring forward their own nature-positive bills only to them kill them by withdrawing them from the Notice Paper this week. There were plenty of industries who were loudly opposing the bill, including forestry and mining, but salmon producers were also worried about what it would mean for them when they're already facing uncertainty. Salmon farms at Macquarie Harbour have been in limbo for almost the entire time Labor have been in government. When can workers in the West Coast community finally expect to receive some clarity from Labor?
