The new boundary also adds to the representation of the glacial and other features in the World Heritage area, including landforms, which contain evidence of glacial movements millions of years ago along the Walls of Jerusalem and the central plateau. On 31 January 2013 Australia requested an extension of the boundary of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area and this request, as we now know, has been accepted. As to the specific issue that Senator Milne raised, I am happy to take that on notice and see whether there is any further information that the minister can provide.
