I'm asked about a project that is reported in the media, according to the senator, in Victoria. I've already indicated to the senator that I don't have information about that particular project. I'd also make the point that she asks me this question in my capacity as the minister representing the minister for the environment. But the question that is now directed to me goes, I think, to much broader questions around investment in Australia and the approach we take to the development of mineral resources. Those aren't within the portfolio area that I represent. I have given Senator Hanson the information that I do have about the way that the environment laws would apply to a project of this kind, but, as I've already indicated, I really am not in a position to provide specific information about this project. It is simply not something that I am briefed on.
