Regarding the herbicide application to Yabberup forest in 2009, I ask:
(a) has the Minister witnessed the inferior coppicing of the herbicide poisoned trees;
(b) now that the trees have coppiced poorly at their base, does this type of coppicing could pose a fire hazard in the near future, and if not, why not; and
(c) is herbicide poisoning of mature native trees in Western Australia’s climate sensitive South West forests is best practice, sustainable forest management, and if yes, please provide reasons?
