I move:

That the Senate calls for a halt to all logging destruction in Tasmania’s Weld River valley until and unless:

(a)

the Government completes a World Heritage evaluation of the forests;

(b)

the Tasmanian Government shows that there is no prudent or feasible option to that destruction;

(c)

an independent evaluation of the valley’s long-term economic value, including its tourism potential and carbon sink value, has been completed; and

(d)

the full loss of water, carbon, biodiversity and honey production value from the destruction proposed is known.

Question put.
