9:00 am

I understand the constraint on the Minister of State in respect of the convention. That is why wherever there is an interpretative approach, I am happy to look at that. I would like it if the Minister of State could indicate what the Department's timeline is for the review of this legislation so that it would mirror, for example, the marine protected areas or the convention on biodiversity. There will be new requirements on biodiversity coming through. That is likely in November. Is it foreseen that those other obligations, which will also be multilateral and international, will be reviewed to look at how they will be mapping into these jurisdictional issues?
