Motion Text

That this House deeply regrets the failure of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Living Resources to agree on a new area of conservation; believes that this failure will allow excessive fishing and that this will put the ecosystem in danger and threaten the existence of many seals, penguins and whales; recognises the Government supported the plan; and urges the Government to lobby Russia to ensure that the conservation area is fully agreed in Hobart in October 2013.
