by leave—We sought to amend the motion to note that delivery details for the Landcare program between the 2008-09 to 2011-12 years are being developed as part of a forthcoming Caring for Country business plan. The government will be inviting funding proposals from Landcare groups and others for Landcare projects that build upon the existing natural resource management plan framework. Unfortunately, we could not get agreement from Senator Siewert so we are opposing the motion but placing on record our ongoing commitment to Landcare, which was introduced by Labor in 1992.

Question agreed to.
