Minister Canavan, I do want clarification as to whether you're ruling out logging native forests or in national parks, but the Central Highlands Regional Forest Agreement and the East Gippsland RFA are expiring tomorrow; as of now, we haven't heard whether those agreements are going to be extended or whether—as we think should happen—they will be wound up and consigned to the dustbin of history. Are these agreements going to be extended before they expire tomorrow? If not, what's going to happen in these forests where logging is planned tomorrow and beyond?
