Senator WATERS (Queensland—Co-Deputy Leader of the Australian Greens) (14:17): My question is the Attorney-General, Senator Brandis. This morning the government introduced its bill to stop Australians holding the Minister for the Environment to account when he has broken environmental laws. Are you introducing this bill to stop any challenge to the minister's approval of the Shenhua coalmine in the Liverpool Plains, and to stop any challenge to the minister's upcoming decision on Great Barrier Reef dredging and dumping to expand the Abbot Point coal port? Government senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: One moment, Senator Brandis. I do not know whether you heard the entire question. I missed a portion of it. What was the preface to your question, Senator Waters? I got the tail end of it, but what was the preface to your question? Senator Waters: Thanks, Mr President. I too could hear Senator O'Sullivan very loudly. My question was: are you introducing this bill to stop any challenge to the minister's approval of the Shenhua coalmine, or to the Abbot Point coal port expansion. The PRESIDENT: Thank you, I have the rest of the question now. If the Attorney-General is satisfied, I am.
