Mr President, I ask a supplementary question: I want to ask the minister to continue to tell us about the financial and other ways in which the government intends to assist in preserving the site. I also want to know if the minister will approach the French ambassador to investigate ways of involving the French government in assisting the Australian government in preserving the site and enhancing the botanical and cultural interpretation through cooperation with many of the French academic institutions which hold valuable documentary and scientific materials, including botanical specimens which were taken from Recherche Bay 200 years ago.
