The motion relates to documents on offsets for the Abbot Point coal port approval. The question of offsets for this approval is a matter currently before the Federal Court and proceedings commenced by Mackay Conservation Group. This is the second motion in relation to the Abbot Point proceedings that this chamber has considered this year. The Federal Court has appropriate processes and procedures relating to the disclosure and use of documentation. The rights of the parties, being not only the Commonwealth but also commercial entities like NQBP, Adani and GVK, are protected through these processes and procedures.
