QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

World Heritage Listing

MR KAINE: I would like to address a question to Mr Wood, the Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning. Minister, what is the Government's position on the proposal coming from the Joint Parliamentary Committee on the ACT, specifically from Labor backbencher John Langmore, to subject the entire city of Canberra to world heritage listing?

MR WOOD: Madam Speaker, Mr Langmore put out that document. I am not sure whether it is correct to say that the proposal is to subject the entire city to world heritage listing, but I will go and look at the material. I did indicate to Mr Langmore that I would not shut the door; that I would listen to his arguments. As you know, there was a fairly negative response to his statement. Indeed, I was not fulsome in my praise of it; far from it. After a conversation with him and listening to the argument that he put, I indicated that I would talk to him about it; that there was discussion that he and I could have. Arising from that discussion, we could say, "No, we have no further proposal to take this on board", or maybe consider it a little further. That is getting well ahead of myself at this stage.
