I want to come back to the issue of land use conflicts and the concerns raised by the National Farmers Federation. Minister, in one of your answers to Senator Brockman earlier, you mentioned the ministerial veto for projects whereby human induced regeneration may exceed 30 per cent of the farm. As you rightly pointed out, we brought the ministerial veto in when we were in government, in response to industry concerns. Do I take it from your answer that there will be no change to the 30 per cent ministerial veto in that legislation?
