Senator ROBERTS (Queensland) (16:36): I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator ROBERTS: One Nation opposes the motion from Senator Whish-Wilson. The Gulf of Carpentaria fin fish fishery is a limited entry, quota managed, semidemersal trawl fishery that has operated under the jurisdiction of the Queensland Fisheries Joint Authority since June 1988. The fishery remains developmental, and any change to a licence status depends on it continuing to demonstrate ecological sustainability, commercial viability and social acceptability. The fishery is heavily managed, and One Nation believes those restrictions are quite sufficient. The additional layers of environmental green tape and blue tape suggested by the Greens will serve to destroy commercial fishing opportunities for high-value fish species. What the Greens have failed again to do is link fishing with the reduction in fish stocks of the river shark and sawfish. Again, there is no data. One Nation proposes to allow the Queensland government to get on with managing this fishery without interference.
