As I was saying, it wasn't that long ago that the Greens party, including Senator Hanson-Young, Senator Waters and everyone else sitting around them, supported legislation that this government passed through this Senate—the most far-reaching environmental law reform that Australia has seen for 25 years and that delivers a balanced package of stronger protections for our environment and also faster and simpler assessment and approval processes that will deliver the habitat protection that our threatened species deserve. In the meantime, we're not going to be doing political grandstanding—

like certain people who are yelling out over there; we're going to get on with the job of making sure we keep our species safe. (Time expired)
