QuestionView source ↗
Labor promised during the election campaign to stop the logging of old-growth and high conservation value forest. Will the minister give a commitment to - (1) Giving a full audit of what has been achieved in our forest since she came to office; and (2) Giving her definition of high conservation value forest? Dr EDWARDS
AnswerView source ↗
(1)-(2) There are two parts to the question. The first relates to old-growth forest and the second to high conservation value forest. The Labor Party put out a detailed policy before the election. We signalled the areas that would be preserved, allocated the exact number of hectares in those areas and put considerable thought and detail into that policy. That policy is being implemented; logging in old-growth forests has stopped. I am happy to provide that policy to the member for Alfred Cove and to explain how that has been done. I urge the member to read it and to go through those areas that were to be set aside. Other areas are now being raised. In a way, the easy part of the policy has been done. The areas the Labor Party said would be protected are being managed as though they are protected. Those old-growth areas are not being logged. The community is now saying that other areas on the logging plans have high conservation values. Mr Barnett: You are logging close to towns and in tourist areas, that is what is happening. Dr EDWARDS: I was waiting for that! What is the Liberal Party policy on this? We have heard this afternoon about the Barnett budget black hole. We have also heard about the Barnett backflip on forest policy. He has said that the Liberal Party has a new policy about not logging old-growth forest. That is changing even further. Mr Barnett: No, I didn’t. I never said that. Dr EDWARDS: It is now on the record. We have had a further backflip. What the Leader of the Opposition said in the media release is different from what he is saying in the Parliament. Mr Barnett: No; do not put words in my mouth. I never said that. Dr EDWARDS: I am relieved, because I was getting a bit confused. I have read in the media down south that the Liberal Party is getting a bit of a hammering because it wants to stop logging in old-growth forest. I am relieved that we are getting some clarification on the true policy of the Liberal Party. Its true policy is jumbled; it does not know what it is doing. To get back to the question, the definition of high conservation value will soon be discussed and I will table that as soon as it is available.
