My question is the Attorney-General, Senator Brandis. This morning the government introduced its bill to stop Australians holding the Minister for the Environment to account when he has broken environmental laws. Are you introducing this bill to stop any challenge to the minister's approval of the Shenhua coalmine in the Liverpool Plains, and to stop any challenge to the minister's upcoming decision on Great Barrier Reef dredging and dumping to expand the Abbot Point coal port?
