I'm not sure the skate's got time, Minister. When launching the Threatened Species Action Plan in 2022, Minister Plibersek stated, 'I will not shy away from difficult problems or accept environmental decline and extinction as inevitable.' Minister, if you want to prevent extinctions, at some point you will have to do something that will prevent extinctions. Will you listen to the scientific advice that has been before you for months, stop salmon farming in Macquarie Harbour and give the skate the best possible chance of survival?
