Senator WATERS (Queensland) (14:21): My question is to the minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Cormann. The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority just downgraded the outlook of the future of the Great Barrier Reef from poor to very poor, saying that the biggest threat to the reef is climate change, followed by water quality. This downgrade comes right as the World Heritage Committee is reconsidering whether to list the reef as World Heritage in Danger after 50 per cent of the coral cover of the reef died since 2016. As well as its intrinsic value, 64,000 people rely on the reef to remain healthy for their livelihoods. When will this government do what independent scientists, tourism operators, its own agencies and even other nations, like Samoa—from whom we have a delegation today—are calling for, and adopt a climate policy that will save what's left of the reef?
