Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and Minister for Emergency Management) (14:25): I am very well aware that the Albanese government takes issues of environmental protection, including mangrove protection, extremely seriously. I know Minister Plibersek is doing a lot on this front, particularly as the environment minister for our country. The PRESIDENT: Minister Watt, please resume your seat. Senator Cox? Senator Cox: Again, a point of order on relevance. How many hectares of mangroves are going to be destroyed by this marine infrastructure being developed? It's a very simple question. The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Cox. You also referenced COP, and I do believe the minister is being relevant. Senator WATT: This development, like every development that is proposed for Australia of the scale of this development, will have to go through an EIS process. That EIS process would consider the very matters that Senator Cox is questioning, and that is the appropriate process in which to make those sorts of decisions, based on expert evidence about what all of the environmental impacts of this development would be, whether they be about mangroves or any other feature of the development. As I say, and as I continue to say, this is an important development for the Northern Territory and it's an important development for the entire country. We support it, we support the jobs that come with it and we support the clean energy that will come with it as well. (Time expired)
