Mr President, I ask another supplementary question. I thank the minister for her answer. The Fitzgerald national park is a Man and the Biosphere reserve which is under international convention. This park is highly vulnerable to dieback. It is an extremely important area because it is one of the last few areas that may remain uninfected by dieback in the future. The state government proposed to put a coastal road through the park which will go through what are at present uninfected areas. Is the government funding or considering funding any part of that road?
