My question is for the Minister representing the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development, Senator Cash. Damien Mills died tragically at age 35 when he fell overboard while travelling on a chartered vessel off the coast of Western Australia on 31 October 2014. A coronial inquest found Mr Mills's death underscored the need for simple safety processes on chartered vessels, such as performing accurate headcounts and supervising passengers properly while on board. What action, Minister, has the Australian Maritime Safety Authority taken to improve passenger safety following Mr Mills's death?
