Bundaleer Forest

Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (14:21): Would the minister please share with us what percentage of the total area that was burnt the 60 hectares represents?

The Hon. L.W.K. BIGNELL (Mawson—Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Tourism, Minister for Recreation and Sport, Minister for Racing) (14:21): Four hundred and fifty hectares were burnt, and there are 390 hectares that I understand are still being salvaged at the moment. A decision on that will be made at a later date. We are talking 60 hectares out of 450, so 390 are still to be decided.
