My question is also to the Minister for Fisheries, Forestry and Conservation, Senator Eric Abetz. It relates to Australia’s fishing and seafood sector. Will the minister update the Senate on what actions the Howard government has taken to ensure the long-term economical and environmental sustainability of this industry? What action has the Howard government taken to support the aquaculture sector, particularly in my home state of Tasmania? Is the minister aware of any alternative policies?
