stopping cuts to pensions, caring for ADF members and veterans, and mental health. However, this Greens notice of motion that we have just voted on, which essentially refers the Australian forestry industry to a Senate committee, does not fool me. This motion is nothing but another unnecessary attack on the Australian forestry industry and in particular the Tasmanian forestry industry.

If there is going to be any inquiry into the forestry industry it should be how the Greens members of this parliament used taxpayers funds to destroy a sustainable, honourable industry which employed lots of workers in Tasmania and around the country. This is nothing but a witch-hunt, and I strongly oppose it, which has now just been voted away.
