Thank you, Temporary Chairman; I will take your guidance on that. I move Australian Greens amendment (1) on sheet 7377:

(1) Schedule 1, item 1, page 3 (before line 11), before section 24D , insert:

24CA Extended meaning of coal seam gas development and large coal mining development

In this Subdivision:

coal seam gas development has the meaning it would have if, in the definition of coal seam gas development in section 528, the reference to coal seam gas extraction included a reference to shale gas extraction and tight gas extraction.

large coal mining development has the meaning it would have if, in the definition of large coal mining development in section 528, the reference to coal mining activity included a reference to underground coal gasification mining activity.
