I thank the member for her question. (1)–(3) I think the document to which the member is referring is the discussion paper that has been released by the Department of Fisheries for public comment. The Department of Environment and Conservation will be providing advice, as part of that review, to Fisheries as well. At this stage I am certainly not aware of any change to the concurrence powers for the establishment of the marine park. However, I ask that the member also direct her question to the Minister for Fisheries, who is the most appropriate person, given that it is within his portfolio.
