Thanks, Senator Walker. In delivering new homes, the Albanese government is getting the balance right by also ensuring that Australia's spectacular natural environment is protected. The approval for the development I mentioned in the electorate of Farrer earlier includes targeted conditions to protect listed threatened species. The conditions include strict clearance limits and a management plan to create, enhance and protect habitat for the endangered Sloan's froglet and the critically endangered regent honeyeater.
