Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. It has been claimed—which I have just heard—that including native wood waste as part of the renewable energy target will threaten native forests. Can the minister please inform the Senate of what sort of safeguards will exist if native forest wood waste is included in the RET to ensure that native forests are not harvested for the sole purpose of bioenergy production.
