I will not detain the chamber any further. I will give the minister one last opportunity so that, when we do check the Hansard, there will be a very clear response to my very clear question: is there any reason, at all—political, geological, engineering, community consent, environmental or any reason at all—why the government is insisting that Western Australia not be covered by this legislation and that these particular kinds of gas formations be outside the ambit of the legislation? Is there any reason at all?
