Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. The Australian Academy of Science has today slammed the government's Reef 2050 Plan as inadequate to protect the Great Barrier Reef, because it represents business as usual on coal ports and because it fails to address climate change. When will this government start listening to the science on climate change and on the reef instead of approving mega coal mines in the Galilee Basin and treating the reef simply as a highway for coal ships.
