SOUTH
COAST MARINE PARK
427. Mr P.J. RUNDLE to the Minister for Environment:
I have a supplementary question. Is the minister aware that
commercial and recreational fishers based in the metropolitan area are now
actively watching the south coast marine park process to see what is in store
for them with the Marmion Marine Park extension in the event that the Labor
government wins another term in office?
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Order please, members.

AnswerView source ↗

I am aware of an opposition that fails to come up with its
own policies, does not value the environment and will always cause and stir up anxiety
in the community. I hope it does not do it with the Marmion Marine Park
proposal as it has with the south coast marine park.
We will have a measured approach, we will always be inclusive
and we will always strike the right balance.
