Thanks, Minister. Just in relation to the board, we have some amendments that I will come to after the break that relate to the proper level of assessment that we say should be undertaken for these projects, in that they should go through the normal channels of environmental laws, and they should also have rigorous, independent, cost-benefit analyses done. But I note that you have referenced the role of the board. Can I ask you when appointments to that board will be made and what process will be used for that?

Sitting suspended from 18:30 to 19:30
