AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. The following answers are predicated on the reasonable inference that the questions refer only to marri sawlog and not marri chiplog. (1) 10. (2) A total of 298 188 cubic metres has been contracted for over the last five years. (3) A total of 48 663 cubic metres has been supplied over the past five years. As the honourable member is no doubt aware, the high degree of fault found in marri logs means that the purchase of marri sawlogs is on a buyers-choice basis, similar to that used for third grade jarrah. Discrepancies between contract quantities and the amount of timber supplied may therefore be due to customer discretion and not necessarily the inability to supply. (4) The nature of this question is unclear and I would be pleased to respond following clarification by the honourable member. (5) The quantity of marri that will be available on a sustained basis during the next contract period is yet to be determined. Allocation of marri will therefore be determined separately from jarrah and karri.
