logging, feature-grade logs
Some notice of this question has been given. Given the minister’s remarkable ability to recognise specific logs, I ask - (1) How many feature-grade logs older than two years are currently lying in state forest or on log landings following logging operations? (2) What volume of feature logs older than two years is currently lying in state forest or on log landings following log operations? (3) To whom is each of the logs allocated? (4) Does the Department of Conservation and Land Management or the Forest Products Commission have a register of the location of each of those logs? (5) Will the minister table this register, or tell the House where people may go to view the register? (6) When will each of the logs be collected for milling? Mr OMODEI

I thank the member for some notice of this question. If I have that ability, I notice a couple fewer logs on the other side. (1)-(6) Improved accounting procedures are in place to ensure that all logs delivered to consumers comply with authorised practices. Feature logs are identified and delivered on demand. Logs are delivered to successful value-adding businesses. The delivery note system ensures that there is total accountability and transparency in the process.
