My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. It's been reported by multiple media outlets this week that the government's quick-fix legislation, introduced yesterday to work around the environment minister, who's proved incapable of making a decision on the future of Tasmanian's salmon farming, was the subject of multiple heated caucus meetings and political fixes inside the Labor Party, including a promise to bring back the disastrous, job-destroying EPA that you promised not to. Approximately how long ago was the idea of using the futures of Tasmanian salmon workers and businesses as bargaining chips when it came to reinitiating Ms Plibersek's dangerous, job-destroying nature-positive laws and EPA first discussed inside the Labor Party?
