2032 Olympics and Paralympics a step closer for the Sunshine State
The Federal Government welcomed a further step toward South East Queensland securing the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. It follows the recommendation overnight from the International Olympic Committee's executive board that the Queensland bid go to a final vote before its members at the IOC session in Japan next month. Minister for Sport Richard Colbeck and Member for Fairfax, Ted O'Brien who is also the Prime Minister's representative for Queensland's candidature, said it was another significant milestone. "It reinforces the work that has been achieved so far by all bid partners and highlights what can be achieved when all levels of government work toward on an outcome that will have enormous benefits for the entire nation," Minister Colbeck said. He said Australia already has an enviable reputation when it comes to hosting global sport. "We have demonstrated our strong credentials in successfully hosting major sporting events including the 2000 Sydney Olympic and Paralympic Games, the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne and the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast," Minister Colbeck said.

'Musseling in' to help marine ecosystems
The Federal Government is throwing in new mussel to support marine ecosystems, with the seeding of a reef restoration project in Perth's Swan-Canning Estuary. In a week where the UN launches its Decade of Ecosystem Restoration in 2021, more than one million live, locally-grown native Blue Mussels will be deployed across pilot reefs built between Point Walter (Bicton) and Point Dundas (Applecross) supported by the Federal Government's $20 million Reef Builder program. Minister for the Environment Sussan Ley said the native mussels will improve the health of the estuary by filtering millions of litres of water and boosting fish stocks. "We are working with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) to restore local marine environments by rebuilding native shellfish reefs at 13 sites around the country," Minister Ley said. "These projects are helping marine ecosystems, creating jobs and supporting local tourism. "Only last month I visited Port Stephens for the completion of the first reef and saw how it will support local marine environments, attracting more fish and with them more tourists.
