I find it extraordinary that neither the Labor Party nor the coalition are prepared to listen to the voices and the opinions of South Australians. South Australians desperately want to see our Great Australian Bight protected. They want to see our fishing industry given longevity. They want to make sure that our tourism industry is protected. We know that oil and gas drilling in the Great Australian Bight would devastate South Australia's economy and the natural wonderland in the Great Australian Bight, and would put thousands and thousands of jobs at risk. If Labor and Liberal want to take responsibility for that, they should own up to it and say that they are standing in the way of South Australians having their Great Australian Bight World Heritage protected.
