35. Lucy Wicks gave a promise that PEP-11 would be rejected on the 24/04/2022... which is suspiciously close to when Scott Morrison became the Federal Resources minister:

“Further or in the alternative, there was a reasonable apprehension of bias, in the form of predetermination, on the part of the prime minister, such that there was a denial of procedural fairness.”

“In circumstances where the prime minister had publicly committed to a final position of refusing the application, prior to receiving the submissions of the application dated 22 January 2022 … it can be inferred the Prime Minister did not properly take into account the applicant’s submissions and in the premises the application was not given an opportunity to be heard,” it states.
