MEDIA RELEASE

27 MARCH 2013

Dear Federal Member / Senator

Collectively as industry and along with affected communities, we

believe the Management Plans before Federal Parliament relating to

the Marine Bio-Regional Planning Process (MBPP), are unacceptable

and must be disallowed by Parliament.

This process has been rushed, consultation has been very poor andimportantly, the process delivers far less for the environment than can

or should be achieved.

Industry and the communities affected believe we must get this

right.

In our view we must revisit the MBPP and do it properly by revisiting

the process.

Industry, communities and the environment deserve a more

sophisticated, holistic and science driven public policy process.
