My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Agriculture is talking like the federal government could allow supertrawlers into Australian waters after the two-year ban on the Margiris/Abel Tasman expires in November. But the Tasmanian Liberal Party, in election mode, claims to oppose such a proposition. Prime Minister, do you agree with Will Hodgman and will you rule out allowing supertrawlers in Australian waters?
