AI justification

High environmental risk to UNESCO-listed Great Barrier Reef outweighs speculative economic benefits. | The project's potential economic benefits (job creation, infrastructure development) are outweighed by significant environmental risks to the Great Barrier Reef and local ecosystems. The Whitsundays are a UNESCO World Heritage site, and large-scale development could undermine biodiversity and climate resilience. The net ethical position is negative due to the high environmental stakes.
