FORESTRYSA

The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (15:12): My question is to the Treasurer. As the revenue for the sale of the harvesting rights of SA forests is already built into the budget, can the Treasurer advise if the revenue from the sale of one, two or three rotations is the figure in the budget?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Treasurer, Minister for Employment, Training and Further Education) (15:12): I would have to check the figure for the proceeds from the sale figured into net debt. I imagine it would be three rotations but I would have to check with my department to find out exactly how they've arrived at that figure. The government doesn't want to disclose the figure because that might cause problems when, and if, we decide to sell those forward rotations.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! We appear to have run out of questions: member for Davenport.
