Senator DUNIAM (Tasmania—Assistant Minister for Forestry and Fisheries and Assistant Minister for Regional Tourism) (16:50): I seek leave to make a short statement. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator DUNIAM: Fossil fuels, including oil, gas and coal, are going to play a vital role in Australia's energy mix for the foreseeable future. The current acreage release provides opportunities to ensure continued energy security for all Australians. Our oil and gas reserves are an important part of our national wealth, too. Gas is now our third-biggest export. Exploration for oil and gas in Australian waters has been undertaken safely for decades. The industry is overseen by an independent expert regulator, the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority, otherwise known as NOPSEMA. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: The question is that general business notice of motion No. 89, in the name of Senator Hanson-Young, be agreed to.
