HUNTER Legislative Council Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation Marine Parks The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:50): This is the end of a long 10-year period of co-design with the community, liaison with the community and talking to industry groups. The marine parks legislation was passed by this council and the other place. In relation to the amendment bill moved by the Hon. Michelle Lensink in this place and moved in the lower house, the government required support to have the majority to defeat the bill. One of the requirements from minister Brock was that we actually scrutinise once again any potential economic impact on the three key zones of concern to the community at the moment. We were very happy to do so and secure his vote against the Liberal Party proposition.
