I thank the Leader of the Opposition
for some notice of the question. The following information has been provided on
behalf of the Minister for Environment.
(1)–(2) No.
The Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions' approach
is to publish outcomes of Forestcheck through peer-reviewed scientific journals
that are available publicly when published. The current scientific paper that DBCA has prepared is in peer review with
the scientific journal Forest Ecology and Management . Once
the paper is published, it will be publicly available.
