Thank you, Minister. The native forest workforce are obviously skilled forest firefighters, and they assist our firemen and firewomen in fighting bushfires. In the 2019-20 fires, 284 forest contractors used 190 harvesting machines to save rural properties and lives. Since we're shutting down the native-timber-harvesting industry in Victoria, what work, if any, is being done by you to help with the next fire season?
