I, and also on behalf of Senator Bob Brown, move:

That the Senate—

  (a)   notes:

  (i)   clauses 25 and 27 of the Tasmanian Forests Intergovernmental Agreement between the Commonwealth of Australia and the State of Tasmania (IGA), signed by Prime Minister Gillard, and

  (ii)   that current logging and proposed logging in the 430 000 hectares of high conservation forests proposed for protection breaches these clauses of the IGA; and

  (b)   calls on the Government to immediately honour the IGA.
