Thank you.

Because you've chosen to close it, not for conservation reasons but because of the department's inability to enforce the law, will you compensate the legal licence-holders for the living that you took away from them, the 1,100 harvesters that you've thrown out of work, not for conservation but because you couldn't do your job?

As spoken
