I move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes that recommendations handed down by the South Australian Department for Environment and Water, on 31 July 2019, call for 30 species be added to the threatened species list and a further 15 species be upgraded to a more threatened category; and

(b) calls on the Federal Government to establish and fully fund a plan for each threatened species.

The Threatened Species Scientific Committee is meeting this week to discuss new listings and recovery plans. It would be inappropriate to pre-empt the committee's decisions at this time.

Question agreed to.
