Minister, I remind you that you're the minister for burning fossil fuels, which impacts the environment. Can you then explain to coastal communities, ocean lovers, tourism operators, surfers, divers and fishers right around the nation why you are responsible for releasing 80,000 square kilometres of new ocean acreage to oil and gas companies to explore for the exact same fossil fuels that are responsible for killing our oceans?
