My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for the Environment and Water. Regional Australia is key to the success of the energy transition, and we know that 70 per cent of regional Australians are in broad support. However, poor community consultation is eroding social licence. The EPBC bills do not include a community consultation standard that would build trust. Will the minister commit to best practice community engagement standards under the new EPBC Act?
