Labor vows to block 'largest removal of marine area from conservation, ever'

Opposition condemns Coalition plan to open more recreational and commercial fishing areas

Labor says it will move to disallow new marine park management plans proposed by the Turnbull government, branding the change the "largest removal of marine area from conservation, ever, from any government in the world".

The new management plans were uploaded by officials on the federal register of legislation on Tuesday, cutting across a public announcement the Turnbull government had planned to make on Wednesday.
