I appreciate the ability to respond. First, in relation to passing legislation, the Deputy Leader was waxing quite outraged this morning and is now suggesting that we should be adding a bill to the guillotine. In relation to the national environment laws—and I know that the Deputy Leader of the Opposition is desperate to run a scare campaign in Western Australia, so desperate—obviously, we are very conscious of the importance of engagement with the states and territories about this. We are very conscious that delivering improvements to national environment laws will require common sense and cooperation, and that is the approach the government will be taking.
