My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for the Environment and Energy, Senator Birmingham. It has been reported that the New South Wales Premier, Mike Baird, will be writing to the environment minister regarding the installation of shark nets. Can them minister confirm that the environment minister has received a letter from the New South Wales Premier? And will the minister be fully examining this proposal from Mr Baird as a controlled action requiring assessments under the EPBC Act?
