Marine Parks

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:38): Is the minister aware that without taking data for the full 12 months—that is, until the end of this month—the government is actually not fulfilling the commitment Mr Brock made to the parliament? Secondly, if minister Brock makes a submission to the minister, will he consider it and extend the collection of data for that period of time?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (14:39): I can say to the honourable member, 'Good try,' but in fact the premise of your question is entirely wrong. It is entirely wrong, but that is no surprise from the Liberals, who oppose marine parks and sanctuary zones. These are people who absolutely have no respect for our local environments, no respect at all. It is only a Labor government that will deliver two things—that is, continued protection of our environment as well as economic development in the regions.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! The Hon. Mr Wade has the floor.
