Senator BOSWELL (Queensland) (14:26): My question is to the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Senator Ludwig. I refer to the minister's supportive statement in question time on Monday regarding the trawler the Abel Tasman. The minister stated— Government senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Boswell, just stop for a moment. I need to hear you. The interjections from my right are disorderly. Senator BOSWELL: The minister stated that output controls such as the total allowable catch, particularly individual transferable quotas, are the preferred approach to fisheries management and that small pelagic fish species including localised depletion were unlikely, and that the Australian Fisheries Management Authority, as the independent authority responsible for the sustainable management of Commonwealth fisheries, has continued to play that role very well. Can the minister explain what has changed since Monday?
