I second Senator Marie-Louise O'Donnell's amendment to the Order of Business. I am conscious of time. The Government has launched a draft marine planning policy statement. It is important that we have a cohesive, coherent marine planning strategy relating to development. I encourage Members to engage in the public consultation. If they represent coastal communities, they might take it up with their communities and ask them to engage. The public consultation is now open but the period will close on Friday, 9 August 2019 at midday. It is an important document that can be accessed on the website of the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government.
