We all know the Great Barrier Reef is beautiful. It is known around the world for its biodiversity. It is a tourism mecca and we all value it highly. The Queensland National Trust has named it the State Icon of Queensland.

But none of this justifies the Commonwealth Government meddling in state business. The Great Barrier Reef is entirely in Queensland, and yet the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority is a Commonwealth body.

This is not a discussion about climate change, but a question of over regulation; unnecessary regulation; avoidable regulation.
