That didn't really address the first question, but it wouldn't be the first time. The reef narrowly avoided a World Heritage 'in danger' listing in 2015—it's up for reconsideration by the World Heritage Committee next year—and we've also just seen one of the world's most respected naturalists, Sir David Attenborough, describe Australia's failure to act on climate as 'extraordinary'. What are you going to do to take decisive climate action to protect the reef and start rebuilding our international reputation?
