I move:

That the Senate—
(a)   notes:
(i)   the decision by the New South Wales Government to allow Emirates Hotels & Resorts to build a $60 million resort in the World Heritage-listed Wollemi National Park, and
(ii)   that this sets a dangerous precedent about development in World Heritage areas; and
(b)   calls on the Federal Government to reject the development in the World Heritage area.

Question negatived.
