Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Minister Hunt this morning backed away from language about 'vigilante litigation' and in fact refused to use this phrase. Is this because your government has realised that calling Australians who love our environment 'vigilantes' is not such a good idea? Do you agree with Minister Hunt or do you agree with the Prime Minister, who thinks that farmers, traditional owners, mums and dads, and conservation and community groups who want our environmental laws upheld are vigilantes?
