I move:

That the Senate—

(a) applauds the World Heritage Committee's decision in Doha on 23 June 2014 to uphold the current boundaries of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area;

(b) notes the damage to Australia's international reputation and Tasmanian tourism as a result of the Abbott Government's attempt to reduce the World Heritage Area by 74 000 ha so it can be logged; and

(c) calls on the Abbott Government to abide by the requirements of the World Heritage Convention to fund the rehabilitation of degraded areas and a cultural assessment of the area.

The question is that the motion moved by Senator Milne be agreed to.
