Senator IAN MACDONALD (Queensland) (14:53): My question is to Senator Conroy, representing the environment minister, and it is about marine reserves. Minister, could you tell us how the government intends to police the marine park boundaries, particularly those in the Coral Sea, which go out about 1,000 kilometres? You will be aware that in the past commercial fishermen were the best guardians of those boundaries. Now that they will be removed, what will stop the Taiwanese, Chinese, Indonesian and other foreign boats from coming in and raping and pillaging in the Coral Sea? Government senators interjecting— Senator IAN MACDONALD: Bearing in mind that no Commonwealth naval or Customs assets will be available—they have all left the east coast and gone over to try to shore up the porous borders on the north-west, and Queensland does not have any boats to do it—how are you going to police these boundaries?
