Mr President, indeed I took that on notice. But, in a question that was asking about funds provided to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park foundation, at a time when the Labor Party are criticising the coalition government for giving funds to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park foundation, it is highly relevant to remind the Labor Party that they gave millions of dollars to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park foundation.

Now, we are proud to have made an investment into the future of the reef. We're proud to be making record investment through the Reef Trust into the future of the reef. We're proud to have been the government that got the reef taken off the 'in danger' list. We are proud to have made sure that the reef is in good hands. (Time expired)
