I'll preface this again by saying these laws, and the Labor approach to these laws, are having a significant impact on regional communities, particularly farming communities. Minister, can you guarantee that the Albanese government's cultural heritage laws will not follow the West Australian Labor model of imposing penalties of up to $1 million for individuals and $10 million for corporations, as well as jail terms—massive penalties in jail terms—for even inadvertent breaches? If not, why not? (Time expired)
