QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for the Environment and Water) (15:01): I don't think it's surprising at this stage of the debate that different groups have things that they would like to see changed in the legislation. We've seen comments from business groups. We've seen comments from environment groups.

We will weigh all that up. But one thing I can guarantee you is that we will pass these laws. We will pass laws that protect the environment and do better for business, and we will do it with either the Greens party or the coalition.

The PRESIDENT: Senator Hodgins-May, second supplementary?
