Territory Environment Minister Ian Campbell justified his approval of the expansion, “I think it [the approval] sends a signal that is a very useful one to send: you can have development, you can have mining take place, but you can also have a very good outcome for the environment.

Henderson: Again, in terms of Australia’s energy market, we have a deregulated energy market and certainly the economics are going to drive decisions about what technology we’re going to invest in in the future, and that would be the same with motor vehicles.
