AnswerView source ↗
I thank the
member for some notice of the question.
(1) Yes. The
memorandum of understanding between the Forest Products Commission and the
Department of Parks and Wildlife was tabled on 26 June 2001 in accordance with
section 10(7) of the Forest Products Act 2000 and section 33(9) of the
Conservation and Land Management Act 1984. It is tabled paper 329. For the
memorandum of understanding between the Forest Products Commission and
Department of Water, see tabled paper number—I think there might be a mistake
in the answer here, but hopefully I can bring some corrections or an update to
the member.
(2) Yes.
(3) (a)–(c)
See paper number—and there is no number there, Mr President, so
obviously something has gone amiss and we will get some corrections for the
member.
The PRESIDENT : Do you have some information to table as
well as that?
Hon COL HOLT : Yes, I have, Mr President.
The PRESIDENT : The information that adds to the answer is
tabled.
[See paper 4574.]
The PRESIDENT : The Leader of the House—no, the
Leader of the Opposition.
Hon SUE ELLERY : You know it is! He tried out my seat
before!
