Australia politics live: NSW minister tests positive to Covid and state parliament delayed

Well, the Unesco process has been appalling and we’ve been busy talking to our friends. And the list of countries is quite extraordinary. Indonesia, Canada, the UK, France, Thailand, Hungary, Poland, Bangladesh, Philippines, Turkey, Spain. Joining us in highlighting that this process, you know, is not on.

And then there’s a proper way to do these things.

We invest together with the Queensland Government, some $3 billion on reef science. It’s one of the best managed reefs in the world, and sure, it’s got challenges like sensitive environments all around the world does. But Australia does it better than anywhere else.

And so we’ll be making that case. And we really do think that this process has been absolutely appalling, quite different to when this issue was dealt with by UNESCO early on in our Government back in 2014, I think it was, Greg Hunt was the Environment Minister and we worked through that process and got the right outcome.
