SIGNIFICANT TREES

The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:46): By way of supplementary question, in relation to the minister's commitment to bring back the legislation he has delayed for 12 months, despite the risk of bushfires, will he in that legislation remove the need for emergency workers combatting a fire to contact significant tree authorities before they touch a significant tree during an emergency?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business) (14:47): I believe some issues are covered under other legislation in relation to emergency measures.

The Hon. S.G. Wade: That is not true. You look at the code of practice.

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: Other measures are covered under other pieces of legislation that deal with those things. The honourable member is quite correct: there are some absurdities in there and I have sought to correct them.

The Hon. S.G. Wade: Well, address it—stop delaying it.

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: We put it up and you voted against it. If you are going to change your mind and not vote against it, that is great and I will be happy to bring back that legislation as soon as possible.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! The honourable member may want to give the name of the constituent to the minister so that he can write to him.
