Southern Ocean Wind Farm

The Hon. C. BONAROS (14:50): Supplementary: I thank the minister for her thorough response. Does she also acknowledge the unanimous support of this chamber from all sides of politics—crossbench and opposition included—in their opposition to this proposal, but more importantly the tremendous efforts of the local community in Port MacDonnell, including especially those groups who drove the advocacy: Southern Rock Lobster and Southern Coast Ocean Care?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:51): I certainly did mention in my response the rock lobster industry and Southern Coast Ocean Care of course was also very central to that. I am glad that there was no opposition within this chamber. I am not aware whether the opposition made any submission to the commonwealth process—I am not aware that they did, but I am certainly glad they didn't oppose it.
