Senate debates Questions without Notice

Forestry

My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities, Senator Conroy. Is the minister aware of whether the intergovernmental agreement on Tasman­ian forestry allows the possibility for Gunns Limited to receive payment of taxpayer dollars for its purely voluntary decision to exit native forest logging opera­tions? Can the minister confirm whether the Common­wealth has received assurances from the Tasmanian government that Commonwealth funds will not be used for this purpose?
