I would like to ask a question, following Senator Milne's question, about due diligence and certifying bodies. There are two, as far as I am aware. The Forest Stewardship Council and its ruling general assembly includes Greenpeace; the Wilderness Society; the Australian Conservation Foundation; Friends of the Earth; the World Wildlife fund, WWF; and other environmental non-government organisations, ENGOs. What place will those certifying bodies have in the legislation? How will they be written into legislation?
