(1) Can the Minister advise how the Australian Government is discharging its World Heritage obligations in relation to managing Fraser Island.

(2) Did the Commonwealth Government provide any funding for Stage 1 of the Fraser Island Dingo Population Study, and is it providing any funding for Stage 2 of the study.

(3) When is the Stage 2 report due, and what caused the delay given that the Stage 1 report states its expected publication was July 2011.

(4) Does the Minister or department have a role in agreeing to and/or approving the Fraser Island dingo management strategy, and when will the strategy next be reviewed.

(5) Given that the Fraser Island Dingo Population Study was intended to inform the Fraser Island dingo management strategy on an ongoing basis, can the Minister advise how the findings of current studies are being incorporated in a timely fashion into the Fraser Island dingo management strategy, and/or operational procedures in managing the island.
