I thank the member for her question. The Crib Point gas port projects are intended to provide a cost-effective, secure supply of natural gas to south-eastern Australia by importing LNG from Australian and international markets. The current proposals are being thoroughly assessed for impacts to matters protected under the national environment law, such as the Western Port Ramsar wetland threatened and migratory species. Once the assessment is finalised, separate decisions on whether or not to approve the proposals will be made by the Victorian and Commonwealth governments. Thank you for your question.
