Thank you, Mr President. I congratulate you on your election to the esteemed position which you now hold. In doing so, as a fellow South Australian I acknowledge that, for today at least, you have replaced the Adelaide Crows as the pride of South Australia. My question is to the Minister for Fisheries, Forestry and Conservation, Senator Eric Abetz. Is the minister aware of the recent call by the CFMEU that the Australian government ratify the flawed Kyoto protocol? What would be the consequences for Australia’s forest industry and for the environment if this action were taken?
