I think it's difficult to provide a clear response in relation to that scenario, because it would be a little bit dependent on a number of things, including the nature of any regulatory interactions it had with the state EPA, perhaps, or with the Commonwealth under the EPBC Act. I think that, in the circumstances described in your question, it would be quite dependent on the Minister for the Environment at the time. I'm happy to seek further information for you, but it's quite a specific circumstance, and I'll have to make inquiries.
