The government is committed to the implementation of new management arrangements for Australia's marine reserves. Under the statutory consultation process currently underway, the Director of National Parks will soon publicly release her draft plans for a second time. The government has allocated $56 million to implement new management arrangements. We have conducted in excess of 200 public consultations nationally to ensure that conservation, fishing, tourism research and Indigenous use are fairly treated.

Question agreed to.
