The member for Bass is having a lovely time interjecting, but he might like to listen to his own representatives of the forest industry down there. Mr Edwards, for example, fears that the Forest Stewardship Council certification scheme will be undermined if that 100,000 World Heritage expansion, which is at the very heart of the deal, is dumped. He is telling the government that up to 1,000 logging-related jobs could be lost in the short term if this deal is dumped. I urge the government, including the Prime Minister, to listen to the voices coming from the forest industry, Tasmania and the environmental movement (Time expired)
