Tanya Plibersek says she is “please to commend” the bill to the house.

Factcheck: we don’t think that is true.

And we do not make it a rule to comment on what anyone is wearing, but it is unfortunate that Plibersek is wearing what looks on the broadcast to be a salmon coloured suit as she introduces this bill which will allow the foreign-owned salmon industry to continue salmon farming in the World Heritage Macquarie Harbour, despite the science and research saying that will lead to the extinction of the Maugean Skate.

It’s also important to note that salmon are only this colour once they are cooked.
