Senator RICE (Victoria) (15:41): I seek leave to make a short statement. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator RICE: The Australian Greens support the protection of the high-conservation-value forests of Tasmania, particularly the areas that are included in World Heritage areas. The Australian Greens have never supported logging occurring in World Heritage areas and the Australian Greens will not support logging of forests in the World Heritage forests of Tasmania.
