Mr BURKE (Watson—Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities) (14:57): I thank the member for Leichhardt for opening up the cost blow-out that was administered by the other side. The bioregional planning that is taking place takes place under national environmental law—the legislation that was introduced by a bloke you might have heard of by the name of Robert Hill. Across our oceans there is one region that was done by the previous government—one region only—and that was the south-east. When the south-east was done that provided the template for displacement policy, and that is exactly the template that the government is providing and is following through on. Where was the member for Leichhardt saying, 'It is an outrageous package,' when it was being implemented by the Howard government? Where was the member for Leichhardt when he was wanting to claim— Mr Pyne: Madam Deputy Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The minister was asked how he arrived at a figure of $100 million for an area 10 times the size of the Great Barrier Reef. That is the question that he needs to answer. The DEPUTY SPEAKER ( Ms AE Burke ): The member will resume his seat. The minister has the call. Mr BURKE: Not only were the principles that were arrived at by the previous government in terms of displacement policy the principles that we are now following through on, but the science which was delivered by the previous government has formed some of the scientific foundations for the principles that we followed. The south-west would be the biggest one. On the south-west document there—the bioregional profile for the science—you will see a photograph of a bloke that you might recognise. He used to be the Minister for the Environment and Water Resources. The DEPUTY SPEAKER: The minister will desist from using the prop. The minister will not use the prop. Mr BURKE: The member for Wentworth authored the document that provided the scientific foundation for the south-west. The previous government authored the policies that have dictated how we will run the displacement policies throughout this process. What we have got is a situation where the opposition have decided that environmental protection is something that they need to say no to at every single location. You will not find the member for Leichhardt talking about the impact on his electorate for the dive industry, because the dive industry, a cornerstone of the tourism industry in Cairns, has been out there backing this. They know that Osprey Reef in particular—one of the top five dive sites in the world—is now on the global map in a much stronger way because it has been given the level of marine protection that it always should have had. But no—no mention from the member for Leichhardt of the benefits for some of the tourism sectors in his own electorate— The DEPUTY SPEAKER: The minister will return to the question. Mr BURKE: because, when the option to say no is there, it is irresistible for them. Honourable members interjecting— The DEPUTY SPEAKER: Order! The frontbench are denying the member for Makin the call. The member for Makin has the call.
