My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for the Environment and Heritage. Has the minister seen the full-page advertisement by the Commonwealth funded Australian Rainforest Foundation featuring Peter Cosgrove calling for the buyback of Daintree property, ‘to protect this magnificent rainforest’? Is the minister aware that Lawrence Springborg, the Leader of The Nationals in Queensland, supports additional development rights in the Daintree? Does the minister agree with Peter Cosgrove that the Daintree should be protected or with Lawrence Springborg that the Daintree should be developed?
