          <by role="member" id="4837">The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS (Black—Minister for Environment and Water) (14:18):</by>  The state government is committed to the various changes that were proposed for marine park sanctuary zones. We took that proposal to make a range of changes to the state election, an election where we were successful in forming government afterwards. I have often said this is a challenging policy area. We have brought together fishers and we have brought together conservationists, and they continue to work together and with the government in negotiating this. As I have said many times, I have been really pleased, heartened in fact, by how much closer those two traditionally opposing sectors have been, and I think things are going very well on that front.</text>
