AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. On behalf of the Minister for Environment, I provide
the following answer.
If the member is referring to the
minister's introductory comments in the first paragraph of Hansard that, and I quote, ''no commercial fishers are operating'', this
was a simple mistake. The minister and the government fully intend for
commercial fishing to remain a key component of the south coast marine park on
an ongoing basis.
