2. Hon EUGENIE SAGE (Green) to the Minister for the Environment: Xiexie, Mr Speaker. Does he stand by his statement that "we as a Government decided that we needed to introduce strict rules to stop the further loss of wetlands"; if so, does he intend for the changes now proposed to the National Environmental Standards for Freshwater to make it easier to consent activities such as quarrying, mining, and landfills within or near a wetland?
