My question is to the Minister for the Environment and Water. The Prime Minister said yesterday that gas must play a key role in providing peaking and firming power for Australian businesses and households. Does the minister agree that gas will play a crucial role in providing secure energy supply for Australians? How many gas projects has the minister approved since been sworn in?

Yes, it will play a crucial role, and I'm not going to comment on individual assessments.
