Mr WOOD - 2012-02-16
It has been some time since the meeting was held with the Howard Springs Fishing Club regarding the boat identification scheme, which was supported by the club. I note the club has 500 members. When do you expect to have another meeting with the club? What has been decided about boat identification?
ANSWER
Madam Speaker, I well recall the question from the member. I spoke to him at the time. Boat identification was one of the conditions traditional owners put on the table during the negotiations on Blue Mud Bay. The Blue Mud Bay negotiations are still ongoing and I hope we will have a resolution very soon. The boat identification scheme is still on the table. It is one of the issues still raised by traditional owners. I shall be very pleased to inform the House in the near future of some outcomes from our negotiations.
