I appreciate that and that you are not the Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities. We are amending a specific piece of environment legislation but, as is pointed out, in this legislation you and the environment minister make the decisions jointly. I also appreciate AFMA is an independent body. However, I would think that the government has been following this up. If not, why not? I appreciate you have indicated you will take these questions on notice.
