Ms Attracta U? Bhroin:

I will take a preliminary shot at an answer. I will stand to be corrected by my colleagues because I am coming in a little bit late to this particular legislation in the context of the engagement of others on this. To the best of my knowledge, there has been no formal public consultation or wider engagement on these heads. There have been a number of stakeholder forums associated with different types of activities associated with the maritime spatial planning directive legislation. Specifically under the auspices of the MPAs that derive from the marine strategies framework directive, there have been consultations, as the Senator will have heard, from Professor Tasman Crowe in respect of expanding the network etc. However, on the heads of Bill that the Senator sees before her, not that I am not aware. However, I stand to be corrected on that.
