Senator LUDWIG (Queensland—Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Manager of Government Business in the Senate and Minister Assisting the Attorney-General on Queensland Floods Recovery) (14:58): I thank Senator Colbeck for his ill-informed question. The intergovernmental agreement is a very important agreement. That is why we have Professor Jonathan West going through the verification process. That is why the signatories came together by themselves to look at how they can ensure forestry in Tasmania will continue. We will continue to have plantations. We will continue to have conservation in high-value forests. We will continue to have native forests in public hands that will be protected. All of this is well in front of where the opposition have ever landed in relation to ensuring that this process can be maintained and continued. Senator Colbeck: Mr President, a point of order again on relevance. The minister has shown no capacity to understand or willingness to address any of the questions that I have asked him this afternoon. He has shown absolutely no willingness to address the question. It is about time he got out of the city and spent some time in the bush to understand exactly what is going on in regional Australia and his portfolio. The PRESIDENT: That is not a point of order. Senator LUDWIG: The Liberals are critical of the intergovernmental agreement with Tasmania because they do not care about workers. They do not care about the industry. They do not care about the public in Tasmania. All they want to do is make cheap political points. Senator Colbeck ought to get out of Tasmania and have a look around as well. (Time expired)
