My question is for the Minister for Resources. Renters expect to pay a bond before they move in and often a cleaning fee when they leave, but that isn't the case with oil and gas projects. Last month, another gas producer entered administration, making environmental clean-up, if it happens, the government's problem. The government has recognised the issue but not acted. When will the government ensure companies have to put money aside to fully fund the clean-up of their projects?
