There is absolutely no need for this motion to go forward, as Senator Rice has been informed that the regional forest agreements, as varied, are already planned to be tabled in the House of Representatives tomorrow. It should also be noted that the Regional Forest Agreements Act 2002 requires an amended regional forest agreement to be tabled within 15 days of it being amended. Tomorrow is well within that time frame.

Question agreed to.
