Senator WHISH-WILSON (Tasmania) (14:20): My question is to the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Senator Ludwig. In 2005, the then Liberal fisheries minister, the Hon. Ian Campbell, and AFMA refused to allocate a Commonwealth fishing licence to the supertrawler Veronica II. This followed the banning of the Veronica from fishing in New South Wales, Western Australian and South Australian waters over concerns regarding the lack of scientific research conducted in the small pelagic fisheries. Can the minister update the Senate on what has specifically changed in the past seven years— Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Just wait a minute, Senator. You are entitled to be heard in silence. Across the chamber, order! Senator WHISH-WILSON: Can the minister update the Senate— Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Just wait a minute, Senator Whish-Wilson. I will give you the call. You are as entitled as anyone else in this chamber to be heard in silence. Senator Whish-Wilson. Senator WHISH-WILSON: Thank you, Mr President. Can the minister update the Senate on what has specifically changed in the past seven years in relation to granting a licence to the even larger floating industrial fish factory, the FV Magiris, recently renamed, in what is perceived as an 'up yours' to the Tasmanian public, the Abel Tasman?
