With GBR 93% Bleached, Env. Minister Greg Hunt Takes Bold Action - Schedules Conference Call!!!
Federal Environment Minister Greg Hunt has invited his Queensland counterpart to take part in a urgent phone conference about coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef.
It comes after Queensland Environment Minister Steven Miles called for a crisis meeting with other state and territory environment ministers to address climate change.
Mr Hunt has written to Dr Miles to invite him and "any other relevant Queensland officials" to join the conference call. "I invite you to an urgent phone conference this evening at 10:30pm so you can outline the actions that Queensland has taken, or will take," Mr Hunt wrote.
"I will have joining us senior officials from the Department of the Environment, including the secretary, as well as the chairman of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority."
