I confirm I am in the building. To follow up on Senator Higgins, what has been proposed is critical, but I baulk at the appearance of the word "serious". Who will define the seriousness and what criteria will be used? I ask the same question about the word "systematic". It is all terribly vague really. When we are talking about environmental crime, some people might immediately think about the fossil fuel industry. We always talk about greenwashing. One could say that the planet is more or less a crime scene because of what the fossil fuel industry has inflicted upon it. I know what has been proposed is critical, but will the Department provide any reassurance in that regard?
