My question is to Senator Ian Campbell, the Minister for the Environment and Heritage. Is the minister aware of the findings in the Australia state of the environment 2006 report, released today, about the dramatic impact on wetlands—that the ecological characteristics of 22 Ramsar wetlands have changed? Is the minister aware of the latest report on the Coorong which shows its ecological characteristics have changed? The minister has received a letter from Gwydir landholders asking him to delist those wetlands. Is the minister going to put the Gwydir wetlands and the Coorong wetlands on the Montreux Record?
