For the record, Labor will not be supporting this particular amendment but we do support the implementation of ecological sustainable development in project assessment. In our recent announcement, under a Labor government, Infrastructure Australia will be specifically tasked to include sustainability when assessing project proposals. As we know, Infrastructure Australia is a part of the intended process under the NAIF. This amendment is not necessary for inclusion in the legislation.
