You have been terribly effective, that is all I can say, when you get a 35 per cent increase in one year to 13,000 sightings!

Let me finish. The opposition is supporting this bill. I would very much welcome a situation where we can have a further debate about this matter and on both sides of the House agree that we have made great strides in killing this off and protecting Western Australian fishermen and Aboriginal communities in relation to their livelihood and their safety—and also protecting the pearling industry. I think I will have a long wait.
