Mr President, I have a supplementary question. Amongst the detail I asked: is this the world’s biggest open-cut coalmine, at 11,000 hectares? Will it produce the equivalent of 10 per cent of Australia’s greenhouse gases through the combustion of that coal overseas or domestically? My added supplementary is: how much federal government moneys have been expended on this project to date and how much is earmarked for the assistance of this project in any way, including transport of coal to port?
