Senator BOB BROWN (Tasmania—Leader of the Australian Greens) (14:25): Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. There are consultations in process and I am asking the minister about where those consultations are at. I ask the minister: is he aware of the highly-publicised sale by Gunns of its woodchip mill at Triabunna, the application by a consortium of loggers to buy that mill and an alternative application by Eco Resource Development to buy the mill? Will the minister ensure that no money from the forest agreement process flows to the logging entities— Senator Abetz: Your biggest donor! Why don't you declare that—$1.6 million? Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Continue, Senator Bob Brown. People should cease interjecting. It is disorderly. I will allow you to continue, Senator Brown. Senator BOB BROWN: Senator Abetz was venting his spleen about— The PRESIDENT: I am asking you to continue your question— Senator BOB BROWN: I am responding— The PRESIDENT: I am not asking you to make a comment, Senator. Senator BOB BROWN: I am getting his comment on the record— Senator Abetz interjecting— Senator BOB BROWN: And he continues— The PRESIDENT: Senator Brown, just continue your question. Senator BOB BROWN: When there is silence, I will. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Brown, I am asking you to continue the question. Those on my left! Senator Bob Brown, continue. Senator BOB BROWN: I ask about that consortium: has the government had any discussions about that? Will the government ensure that no money goes, through the forest agreement or in any other way from the public purse, into facilitating the purchase of that Triabunna woodchip mill?
