I do not have a specific brief in relation to that report of the Auditor-General of Tasmania. I will take an interest in that to ensure that the department provides me with that advice in relation to that Auditor-General report, because it will be helpful to inform me as we move forward in this industry, particularly around the Tasmanian forest principles agreement that is currently being dealt with and of course how we then move forward with the support which was already provided for forest contractors.

Again I indicate to Senator Milne that I do not accept the characterisation of her question. Nevertheless, with respect to that part which I have not managed to get to, I will certainly take on notice to provide an answer to the first part of the question that was asked.
