My question is to the Minister for the Environment and Water, Senator Watt. Five years ago, the then environment minister and now opposition leader Sussan Ley commissioned a review by eminent academic and businessman Graeme Samuel into Australia's environment laws. The Samuel review made a number of recommendations about improving the nation's laws to better protect the environment and improve productivity within the approvals process. How is the Albanese Labor government progressing these long-overdue reforms, and can you provide an update to the planned timing of this legislation?
