by leave—In view of what Senator Ludwig has said, I want to reiterate that this report will assess the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park issues happening in the Moreton Bay area. Whilst it is not directly related to the structural adjustment package, it will mean that fishers in Moreton Bay could be affected and therefore could find that they want to take an exit package and be part of the structural adjustment package. It is for that reason that this motion calls for the Queensland government to extend the time to allow the fishers to fully observe the report that has been released this morning.

Question agreed to.
