Minister, you said that the Attorney was consulting around the scope of trespass law in order to strengthen it. Why are those discussions confined to limiting that strengthening to an extremely narrow and rare cohort of folk? And why are they not discussing strengthening trespass laws so that farmers cannot be harassed and overrun by coal seam gas companies in particular and coalmining companies? We have had years of examples of precisely that happening to some famers on the Darling Downs, to the extent that one in particular, George Bender, took his own life as a direct result of the harassment that he was subjected to by a coal seam gas company. Why are you not talking about those issues? They're the real issues.
