My question is to the Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction. I again refer to his earlier answers and to the letter from farm organisations dated 3 October 2017. Is the single alleged EPBC breach referenced in that letter the alleged poisoning of critically endangered grassland on the minister's land?

The environment is not my portfolio responsibility. I have no idea how you expect me to answer that question. This is the ongoing contempt and disdain that you show for the farmers of this country.
