Green light for Andrew Forrest's $70m Ningaloo Reef resort

AI justification

While the project aligns with sustainable tourism goals and long-term planning, the risks to a UNESCO-listed marine ecosystem and the potential for greenwashing due to the developer's background significantly undermine its ethical standing.
