Senator FIFIELD (Victoria—Manager of Government Business in the Senate and Assistant Minister for Social Services) (11:57): I seek leave to make a short statement. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator FIFIELD: The previous, Labor-Greens alliance government developed a proposal for Abbot Point to the tune of 38 million cubic metres of dredge spoil. Where were the critics and outrage then, one might ask. This is yet another example of the Greens moving the goalposts for their own purposes. Crying foul since the day this government assumed office, they cannot abide the fact that this government is on track to deliver better environmental outcomes than the government that they were in league with. This government has been listening to the public and is taking action to minimise impacts on the Great Barrier Reef. Both the Queensland and Commonwealth governments have been working with ports along the Queensland coast, including at Abbot Point, to hear about and develop better approaches. The government is not aware of any approach by the Queensland government to use federal funds. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: The question is that general business notice of motion No. 459 moved by Senator Waters be agreed to.
