My question is to the Minister for . I remind the minister that Australia imports over 70 per cent of the seafood we consume and at current consumption levels we are projected to require an additional 850,000 tonnes by 2020. Given that the minister plans to deny access to valuable fisheries across Australia as a result of his massively expanding marine parks, what will the impact be on the price of seafood as Australia imports more and catches less locally?
