I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. The minister has replied — (1) (a)-(b) It is a total estimated volume of 1 250 to 1 350 cubic metres across all products. Hon Paul Llewellyn : What about the first and second-grade logs? That was the question. Hon ROBYN McSWEENEY : This is the answer that I am providing. The PRESIDENT : Order! Hon Paul Llewellyn should know that he should not interrupt the minister when she is giving him the answer to the question that he has asked. Hon ROBYN McSWEENEY : I continue — (2) Harvesting has been deferred until the 2010 harvesting season due to changes in road location as a result of the area being entirely affected by dieback and the need to undertake surveys in spring for rare flora along those alignments. (3) Yes, I will table the report at a later date. (4) Not applicable.
