Bob Brown has welcomed Premier Jeremy Rockliff’s establishment of a ministry for Antarctica.
Tasmania is best placed to take a pivotal role for Australia and the world in protecting the Great White Continent, its ocean and its wildlife from the ravages of human exploitation overtaking the rest of the planet: Brown said.
“We look forward to working with the government to giving Antarctica its rightful place as the pre-eminent World Heritage Area for the future of humanity. Premier Rockliff is in the box seat to have the Albanese government work with other Antarctic Treaty countries to have Antarctica get that listing,” Brown said.
