My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for the Environment, Senator Birmingham. No remediation is being carried out on the PFAS contamination plumes, now spreading outside of defence bases in Oakey in Queensland, and Williamtown and Katherine. In 2018, Prime Minister Turnbull formed the interdepartmental committee on PFAS, under the environment department, to coordinate the government's response to PFAS. My question is to the Minister for the Environment. Why is the Department of the Environment and Energy not remediating PFAS contamination zones around these defence bases?
