NATIONAL PARKS, SIX NEW PARKS
I have a supplementary question. Anybody who has looked at this brochure would know that it is regrowth forest. The minister has seen the brochure. Is it regrowth forest and has it been clear-felled? The SPEAKER: I could not hear the supplementary question. Perhaps the member will rephrase his supplementary question so that it is a precise question and the members on my right will allow me to hear it. Mr OMODEI: Is the forest on the brochure regrowth forest; and, if so, has it been clear-felled? Dr EDWARDS
