Can the minister now indicate whether, when assessing this project, he will apply the Bald Hills wind farm formula, where a major project was shut down because of a one in one thousand year risk of killing an orange-bellied parrot, or will the minister apply the Heemskirk wind farm formula, where a project was given the all clear, even though it was directly in the flight path of the very same orange-bellied parrot? Aren’t the minister’s key considerations in decision making political and not environmental?
