I note that the Attorney conveniently avoided my question about the 2016 bleaching event, which was the worst on record. But there are reports today that the draft government response to the World Heritage Committee includes a northern Great Barrier Reef response plan which has no new actions and no new money associated with it. Not only that, but the water quality targets are underfunded by $8 billion. Where are you getting your advice from that this will fix the reef?
