Senator Cox, thank you for drawing my attention to visitors in the chamber. You are most welcome. It's very good to see you here today. I will seek any information that I can find from Minister Plibersek about the question you raise, Senator Cox. But I can say to you that the government is deeply aware of the significance of Murujuga to traditional owners and more generally to the Australian public, because, as I indicated in my answer to your primary question, this is a place with immense cultural and spiritual significance. It's why we're pursuing World Heritage listing. It's why we are partnering with the Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation to develop a new management agreement with all levels of government and with industry that is operating in that area.

The government will continue to take these issues seriously and to deal with them in a sensible way. (Time expired)
