The minister is aware that I did advise him that contractors getting these packages in Tasmania should not be allowed to come to the mainland to send other contractors on the mainland broke. I ask the minister: regarding the contractual arrangements with Tasmania, what is the $300,000 line item in last night's budget for processing the Tasmania forest agreement for? What further expenditure on that matter does the government have in mind?
