Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Wild rivers meet at least five of the nine criteria for listing as national heritage under our federal environmental laws because of their natural and Indigenous heritage values, so the environment minister clearly has the power to protect them. My question is not about emergency listing, which has different criteria. Will he now commit to protect those rivers if the LNP rips up our wild rivers laws?
