Senator WRIGHT (South Australia) (14:29): Mr President, I have a further supplementary question. Returning to the sea lions, given that the federal environment minister gave fisheries managers and the industry until 30 June 2010 to implement measures, including voluntary closure of fisheries, to enable the recovery of all Australian sea lion subpopulations, what measures to protect these animals, which are protected under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act, have been made to date? Are the measures in line with the best available scientific advice?
