I don't think the Manager of Opposition Business actually read the motion. It doesn't say what she says it says. All it says is the Senate acknowledges that the World Heritage Committee of the UN endorsed Australia's Reef 2050 Plan and progress made to implement the plan. So, that's been endorsed by the UN. The decision recognises Australia's significant efforts and investment in an early and effective implementation of the Reef 2050 Plan. Again, we're just asking to note that this is what the UN has said. Also, the motion says that the World Heritage Committee—and we particularly want people to note—has not put the Great Barrier Reef on its endangered watch list. That's what we're asking the Senate to note.
