I thank the honourable member for
the question. As ever, I foreshadowed that he would ask a similar question this
afternoon in question time.
(1)–(2) Obviously,
this issue was raised in an earlier motion brought before this house by Hon Rick
Mazza. Following that discussion, I sought further advice from my department on
environmentally sensitive areas and on the response to the Standing Committee
on Environment and Public Affairs' forty-first report from the
thirty-ninth Parliament. I have sought that information. To my knowledge, the
issue has not been raised with me before today or since I became Minister for
Environment. Certainly, as a result of today's conversation and debate,
I have asked for advice from my department on this issue.
