Senator LUDWIG (Queensland—Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Manager of Government Business in the Senate and Minister Assisting the Attorney-General on Queensland Floods Recovery) (14:53): The Australian Fisheries Management Authority, in consultation with the Western Australian Department of Fisheries, has since reviewed the Western Trawl Fisheries Harvest Strategy and revised the management response for key species to ensure a sustainable harvest and to account for the harvest across both jurisdictions. That work was not done when the voluntary closure was put in place. It has since been done between AFMA and the WA government to ensure the sustainability of the harvest and to account for the harvest across both jurisdictions. This process has provided for complimentary management arrangements for the key targeted species. Ecological risk assessments have been completed for the fisheries to identify any risk to target species, bycatch, threatened and otherwise protected species, habitat and communities. So appropriate measures have been put in place. (Time expired)
