Mr President, this minister does not listen to any questions. My question was: would the minister use the powers that he has in relation to Ramsar wetlands to stop the travesty that is occurring to the unique flora and fauna in those areas? Will the minister also use whatever influence he has with the Queensland Labor government to stop actual activities on the dam site and get them to call off the proposal now and not wait until after the election and then bring it back on again?
