On behalf of the Australian Greens, I rise in strong support for funding to eradicate the yellow crazy ant from this most precious World Heritage area, which brings in $426 million in tourism revenue every year and is a World Heritage icon of international significance. The funding is due to run out in June. I have been writing to both the state and the federal governments for almost three years now begging for this funding to be secured and extended. We commend this motion.

Question agreed to.
