FORESTRYSA

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:54): I have a further supplementary question. Can the minister explain how, if ForestrySA stands alone, the government can offer a reset of the log price even for a two-year period?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women) (14:54): As I outlined, it was not a rebate or a discount on the log price; it was an assistance package to CHH—it was not a discount on the log price.
