Marine Parks

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:36): Will airborne tourism operators be charged to fly in the airspace over marine parks, as Chinta Air were charged to fly over the Great Australian Bight?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:36): Once again, the leader of this place comes in here with wrong information. He understands, because I have given him the answer before, that the airline was not charged for overflying marine parks or sanctuary zones or anything of the sort. They were charged a fee that is a normal fee for accessing areas of parks for the operation of a business, for example. He should not come in here in this place and give false information to the chamber, because this chamber has shown time and time again that they do not have the ability to check the facts.
