Timber Industry

The Hon. G.G. BROCK (Frome) (15:15): Another supplementary: minister, you talk about structural timber; can you confirm or advise if there is any structural timber from ForestrySA being exported from Adelaide?

The Hon. D.K.B. BASHAM (Finniss—Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development) (15:16): I thank the member for the question. My understanding is, no, there is no structural timber being exported. In fact, with the new agreements my understanding is that there is no timber that can be processed in our mills being exported. The only timber that is being exported in the short term is timber that is not fit for sawmills themselves.
