STATE FOREST

The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (14:35): Did the Minister for Forests tell a forestry forum in Mount Gambier on 20 October that in regard to the sale of the state forest 'it is a really bad time to sell'?

The Hon. M.F. O'BRIEN (Napier—Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for the Northern Suburbs) (14:35): You have obviously seen the transcripts; I did. It is a bad time to sell, and there will not be a fire sale—end of question.
