Senator CORMANN (Western Australia—Minister for Finance, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:25): I thank Senator Waters for asking a question about an outstanding motion on the Notice Paper by Senator McDonald and Senator McGrath. On our side we are absolutely committed to the health of the Great Barrier Reef and we understand that farmers across Queensland—in particular, farmers in North Queensland—deeply care about the health of the Great Barrier Reef. We believe it's very important for there to be sensible coexistence between economic activity and environmental protection, and I congratulate Senator McDonald and Senator McGrath for taking this initiative. If the Greens actually cared about practical environmental protection, they would support that initiative, they would get right behind it, because it's a great opportunity to do even better in protecting our Great Barrier Reef into the future.
