My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities, Senator Conroy, and relates to the James Price Point gas hub. In the light of evidence that Woodside asked the Western Australian government to withdraw warnings from the Department of Indigenous Affairs that the company might be acting in breach of the Aboriginal Heritage Act, a breach which could put its directors in jail, and that the Western Australian government did so, how can the federal government continue to have any confidence that the WA assessment and EPA reports on which the federal minister must rely have not been corrupted?
