FORESTRYSA

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (15:46): I have a supplementary question. Can the minister guarantee all of the forestry round table recommendations will be in the contract for the forward sale?

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) (15:47): The specific negotiations are occurring between the Treasurer and the round table, so he is responsible for those negotiations. However, I can absolutely assure all honourable members that we are doing our best to accommodate and address all of the concerns, wherever possible, in relation to those concerns that are raised.
