My question is to the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts. I refer to the 1,800 gigalitres of partially treated sewage which state Labor governments either dump or authorise for discharge off our coasts every year. Does the minister stand by his view of 9 November 2005 that this practice is unacceptable? If not, what does he now regard as the acceptable standard for discharge: class C, class A or reverse osmosis?
