I would have thought that those on the other side of the chamber would be supportive of a record investment in relation to one of Australia's greatest economic assets—$6.4 billion and 64,000 jobs are reliant upon the Great Barrier Reef.

They have demonstrated their ability to deliver benefits for the reef and manage government funding appropriately through previous reef projects. They have a track record in relation to the Great Barrier Reef.
