SOUTH COAST MARINE PARK
901. Mr P.J. RUNDLE to the Minister for Environment:
I have a supplementary question.
The SPEAKER : Supplementary
question—hopefully it can be heard in silence.
Mr P.J. RUNDLE : Minister, this is one of the most
woeful consultations —
The SPEAKER : Sorry, not an
introduction, just a question please.
Mr
P.J. RUNDLE : Can I take it from
those comments that the minister is very comfortable that the United
States-based Pew Charitable Trusts is leading this process ahead of
local community consultation?

What the member for Roe is saying is
a complete and utter fallacy. Pew is not leading anything. It is part of a process
just like recreational and commercial fishers. It has no more or less say than
anyone else with a seat at the table. The member's opportunity here is
to get on the right side of history and support this, not to undermine it and cause angst and uncertainty to good people in
the community who earn their living from working in the sea. The member
should be thinking about them because this nonsense argument and these
falsehoods that he brings to this place almost daily are causing unnecessary
anxiety. This is a good process. It is a proper process and we will get a good
outcome.
