00:02While the federal court battle over the golf course may be over, the war of words is still ongoing.
00:07There's going to be protests. It's going to continue.
00:10Even though we didn't win the case, it's not a loss.
00:13This shouldn't be controversial from my perspective.

00:23Contractors on site within hours of Thursday's judgement,
00:26finishing the job of felling nearly 600 trees.
00:29The government's now weighing up applying for legal costs against those who brought the court challenge.
00:34It's ultimately about taxpayers' money and how we manage that prudently.
00:38The government is looking at crushing us for taking a stand.
