CONSERVATION AND LAND
MANAGEMENT AMENDMENT BILL 2021
171. Hon TJORN SIBMA to the minister representing the
Minister for Environment:
I refer to the explanatory
memorandum for the Conservation and Land Management Amendment Bill 2021, which identifies that the proposed amendments will,
among other things, provide for the laudable aim of ''greater
recognition of the rights of Aboriginal people by broadening the purpose
of marine parks to include the protection and conservation of the value of
marine parks to the culture and heritage of Aboriginal people''.
(1) Does the
continuation of lawful commercial and recreational activities prevent or impede
the protection of Aboriginal culture and
heritage in marine parks, marine management areas and/or marine nature
reserves?
(2) If yes, can the minister
provide specific examples?
