I move:

That the Senate—

   (a)  recognises:

      (i)   that areas of Tasmanian forest that have been logged have the potential to recover quickly, and

      (ii)  the rich biodiversity that can exist in areas of Tasmanian forest that have been logged, including waratahs, massive flowering displays, masses of birdlife, devils, quolls and wombats; and

   (b)  acknowledges that native forest industry based activities and vibrant, biodiverse forests are not mutually exclusive.

Question agreed to.
