If I could just add some information for you, Senator Milne: the guidelines stipulate that all government regulatory requirements must be adhered to in order to obtain the tax deduction. This includes relevant state and territory land-clearing regulations. I am advised that it is not for the Commonwealth to introduce regulations that override existing state and territory laws. That is the information I have at this point in response to your questions.
