Minister, why is the Prime Minister claiming that the legislation is limited in effect to salmon farming in Macquarie Harbour when, in fact, it is not? Can you confirm that the legislation to amend the EPBC Act, just introduced in the House, contains nothing whatsoever that would preclude it from preventing the environment minister from reconsidering fossil fuel projects, other mines, land-clearing actions or large industrial developments?
