I will take the interjection, Senator O’Brien. The adviser’s box is exactly the same size it was before. Senator Brown, as I said before, it is quite right and proper that there is a process in place and via the EPBC Act issues relating to the marine environment will be dealt with under that act. I refute your assertion. We can go in a circular argument all night, I suppose, if that is what you want to do, but it is my responsibility to have provisions in place to deal with these issues. I think I should have an understanding of that and I am quite confident that is the case.
