Mr President, I have a further supplementary question. In my home state of Victoria, ecological grazing has been occurring at the Terrick Terrick since the park was proclaimed in 1999. A group of expert grassland scientists has recommended sheep grazing as a tool to achieve specific ecological goals, including helping to preserve the habitat of the endangered plains wanderer. Will the minister support the scientists' view that environmentally sensitive grazing has an important role in the management of particular land assets and the protection of some endangered native species?
