by leave—I move the motion as amended:
- That the Senate—
- (a)
- notes:
- (i)
- there have been calls by land owners in the Ramsar-listed Gwydir Wetlands for it to be de-listed as a Ramsar site due to its degraded condition, and
- (ii)
- the declining condition of Gwydir Wetlands, Macquarie Marshes, the Coorong and other Ramsar Wetlands of International Importance; and
- (b)
- calls on the Federal Government to establish a review of the health and management of Ramsar wetlands in Australia.
Question agreed to.
