I assume Senator Ludwig was indicating that he is going to support the motion, so I move the motion standing in my name and in the name of Senator Trood:

That the Senate—

(a)

notes the backflip of the Queensland Government in deferring the construction of the Traveston Crossing Dam; and

(b)

calls on the Queensland Government to remove the social threat to people living in the Mary Valley and to ensure protection of the Mary River cod, Mary River turtle and the Australian lungfish, by permanently shelving the proposal to construct the Traveston Crossing Dam.

Question agreed to.
