Thank you, President. My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for the Environment and Water, Senator McAllister. One of the greatest threats to endangered Australian wildlife like the koala and the swift parrot is the destruction of their habitat, yet the majority of deforestation in Australia is not assessed by our federal environment laws. Why does the logging industry get an exemption that not even the miners get?
