I will be supporting Senator Rice and National Threatened Species Day. But I would say it's rather ironic, having been in Northern Queensland last week, that we're doing National Threatened Species Day when you've got sea turtles and dugongs being slaughtered under the Native Title Act by people who are abusing it. You're also seeing styrofoam boxes of not chicken meat but turtle meat and dugong meat coming in from the Torres Strait Islands into the carousels at Cairns Airport and being sold for $80 a kilo for turtle meat and $130 a kilo of dugong meat. It's a national disgrace.
