I have a little further information which I hope adds to that which you are seeking—and, again, if there is anything that I have not covered I will take that on notice and come back to you. This is a Western Australian government matter and, legally, the Commonwealth cannot intervene in this process. Engagement with stakeholders, including the Kimberley Land Council and traditional owners, is critical to the strategic assessment process. The strategic assessment requires that the minister consider whether traditional owners have given informed consent to the implementation of a plan for the LNG precinct, and the minister must also give careful consideration to potential impacts on Indigenous people and culture. If there is anything I have missed out, I will take that on notice for you, Senator Ludlam.
