I find it interesting that the Greens party have asked a question about the risk of the EPA not having independent decision-making powers. I was reading a newspaper report only a couple of weeks ago where the Greens spokesperson for the environment was saying that they supported the minister having decision-making powers rather than the EPA. I'm not quite sure if there's a disagreement there between Greens senators. Frankly, this is the one point that we do have agreement on across the entire parliament. I look forward to many more.
