Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. I invite the minister to say what else you would say other than 'abysmal' about the performance of Forestry Tasmania, which has received $147 million in Commonwealth funds and paid only $3.17 million in dividends and $3.5 million in taxes—costing the taxpayer $138.5 million over five years. Further, is the minister aware that the Auditor-General in Tasmania said that he had real concerns about Forestry Tasmania's longer term liquidity?
