I think the Australian people will come to their own conclusion that it is somewhat feeble to claim World Heritage protection for a network of roads, disused quarries, a network of high-voltage lines, pine plantations, eucalypt plantations et cetera. I understand that one person from Portugal used the term that the honourable senator referred to. But can I say that the responses in the Tasmanian ballot boxes were not feeble in any way, shape or form. Having said all that, unlike the Greens and Labor, we do abide by the determinations that are made.
