It is one a year. What the report does state is:

Given that the Orange-bellied Parrot is predicted to have an extremely high probability of extinction in its current situation, almost any negative impact on the species could be sufficient to tip the balance against its continued existence. In this context it may be argued that any avoidable deleterious effect - even the very minor predicted impacts of turbine collisions - should be prevented.

It is unequivocal. I understand that. It says: ‘Do not have wind farms where these birds are unless you have some other mitigating device,’ which obviously has not been put forward in this first submission. (Time expired)

Question put:

That the motion (That the motion (Senator Carr’s) be agreed to.) be agreed to.
