I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) No. I refer the member to my answer provided to question without notice 447 dated 31 August 2001. The amount of 5 650 cubic metres referred to in that answer is not required to maintain full employment at Nannup. The volume supplied during 2001 will be within the contracted volume. (2) No. (3) From 1 January 2002, the Forest Products Commission will supply Nannup Timber Processing Pty Ltd with the contracted annual quantity of 20 000 cubic metres of first and second-grade saw logs. The written answer does not say so, but obviously that means annually. The monthly supply volumes are affected by various circumstances and cannot be accurately predicted. (4) Not applicable.
