Mr President, I will persist with another supplementary question. UNESCO's World Heritage Committee rebuked the federal government for failing to notify it of the approvals for those LNG projects in Gladstone Harbour in advance. But it is not just Gladstone Harbour; there is a litany of new coal ports proposed up and down the reef which will entail millions and millions of cubic metres of dredging. Has the federal government notified UNESCO of the cumulative figures of dredging and offshore dumping up and down the coast in the World Heritage area, and if not why not?
