Dr. Andy Bleasdale:

In our opening statement, we outlined that while the NPWS has a statutory responsibility with regard to biodiversity in nature, the regulations empower other authorities to take on their own responsibilities with regard to the schemes, programmes and regulations they run. That would include the Department of agriculture and every Department and agency with regulation and control. We are not the thought police that goes around the country waving a stick trying to make everybody compliant. Everybody needs to take on board their own need for compliance. It is easy to say that but that can then lead to problems at site level. That co-ordination piece is now needed to work out the unique situation that presents in Lady's Island Lake, and through partnership, that site and its resolution can be worked out, if that is helpful. I am not sure if that is entirely clear but I hope it is.
