The Morrison Government must explain why the Great Barrier Reef Foundation has reportedly been receiving JobKeeper, despite its revenue more than doubling. 

The Morrison Government needs to heed the warning from last week’s World Heritage Committee consideration and dramatically improve its efforts to protect the Reef.

The UNESCO World Heritage Committee's decision to defer its consideration of the Great Barrier Reef is an indictment on the Morrison Government.

KELLY HIGGINS-DEVINE, ABC RADIO BRISBANE DRIVE PRESENTER:  Terri Butler is the Federal Member for Griffith and the Shadow Minister for the Environment and Water. Terri, good afternoon. 

The Morrison Government must assure Australians it has taken all reasonable efforts to avoid the Great Barrier Reef being listed as World Heritage “in danger”, ahead of the upcoming World Heritage Committee meeting.

The Nationals have been exposed as hypocrites, yet again, after trying to blow apart the $13 billion Murray-Darling Basin plan last week then sacking the Water portfolio from the Cabinet late today.

SENATOR PENNY WONG, SHADOW MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS: I'm here with my colleagues from South Australia. Every single South Australian Labor Member and Senator is here today because the Murray Darling is so important to our state. I'm also here with Terri Butler, who of course is Labor's Environment spokesperson, who will address some of the issues that happened in the House today.

Barnaby Joyce was sworn in as Deputy Prime Minister only yesterday, but he and his party are wasting no time in trying to shred the Murray-Darling Basin Plan.

Nationals Senators have today voted against the implementation of the Murray Darling Basin Plan in full and on time.

Well, thanks for being here, everyone. Obviously overnight, we've seen news that the UNESCO World Heritage Committee has provided a draft recommendation that the Great Barrier Reef be listed as "in danger".
