Marine Parks, Sanctuary Zones

Dr CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:18): My question is to the Premier. Does the Premier remain committed to the changes to marine park sanctuary zones that were gazetted last year?

The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS (Black—Minister for Environment and Water) (14:18): 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.

The SPEAKER: The member for Lee.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Lee has the call.
