(b) The FPC does collect this information. However the most comprehensive and authoritative information on employment in the native forest industry (and other sectors) in Western Australia is available from the Cooperative Research Centre for Forestry (Schirmer, Dr J, Forestry, jobs and spending: forest industry employment and expenditure in Western Australia, 2005-06, CRC for Forestry, October 2008.).
(2) The figures for FPC are based on its current organisational chart.
