I indicate for the benefit of the honourable senator that the Tasmanian Liberals have made their position very clear. I know why this question is being asked—because the Greens, in a desperate bid for votes in Tasmania, are trying to harness some votes and use this supertrawler type issue for them to fish some votes. But I tell you that the state Liberals are very strong on this as well, and they have indicated their position just as clearly.
