I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1)–(3) I regularly meet with the Marine Parks and Reserves Authority to discuss marine parks and reserves. On 3 October 2009, the Premier and I announced that a marine park would be established in the Camden Sound area of the Kimberley, consistent with feedback from consultation for the government’s Kimberley science and conservation strategy. I have made it clear that establishment of a marine park in the Camden Sound area is a priority. (4)–(6) The Liberal–National government has already shown its commitment to the establishment of marine parks and reserves as is demonstrated by the creation of the Walpole and Nornalup Inlets Marine Park on 8 May 2009 and the 3 October 2009 commitment to establish a marine park in the Camden Sound area.
