I thank Senator Whish-Wilson for his question and for his enduring care of the Great Barrier Reef, which is shared with that of the Morrison government. The Morrison government in fact is deeply committed to protecting the World Heritage Great Barrier Reef. The tourism industry, traditional owners and reef communities rely on the Morrison government's commitment to the reef, and we will not let them down.

Our world's best management of the reef is acknowledged by many, including the World Heritage Committee, who said in this year's decision on the reef that it commends the state party, that being Australia, for the strong and continued efforts to create conditions for the implementation the reef 2050 long-term sustainability plan.
