SOUTH COAST MARINE PARK —
MINISTER FOR ENVIRONMENT— COMMENTS
468. Hon COLIN de GRUSSA to the parliamentary secretary representing the
Minister for Environment:
I refer to the minister's
response to a grievance raised by the member for Roe on 9 May 2024, regarding
the south coast marine park. Does the minister stand by the comments he made
during his response?

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.
