Labor and Greens keep up the fight against Coalition's marine park plans

Parties plan to introduce separate motions for individual affected regions

Labor and the Greens have launched a fresh attempt to disallow controversial new marine park management plans proposed by the Turnbull government last week, bowling up individual motions to boost the chances of scuttling at least part of the proposal.

A first attempt to disallow the management plans failed on Tuesday night when the government brought on a vote after a procedural skirmish - deploying an unusual chamber tactic, effectively inviting the Senate to vote down the Coalition's regulations.
