In relation to notice of motion No. 681 moved by Senators Hanson-Young and Siewert, I wrongly assumed that there was going to be a division in relation to that motion. I want to make it clear that I support the motion of Senators Hanson-Young and Siewert in relation to the Lower Lakes and Ramsar convention and related matters, so that it is on the record.
