1333. Hon STEVE MARTIN to the minister representing the
Minister for Environment:
I refer to the recently released

hardwood has been allocated to Western Australian furniture manufacturers so
that these businesses can continue to create high-quality designs that are
unique to our state?

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. This answer was current as at 19 October. I am not
sure whether that makes any difference.
(1) No.
(2) The forest
management plan does not determine the purpose for which timber made available
from forest management activities that improve forest health, or clearing for
approved mining operations, is used.
