My question without notice is to the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Senator Ludwig. Is the minister aware that in its recent report, The critical decade, the Climate Commission identified:

… eliminating harvesting of old-growth forests as perhaps the most important policy measure that can be taken to reduce emissions from land ecosystems.

If so, does the minister agree and what is he doing about it?
