Senator BOB BROWN (Tasmania—Leader of the Australian Greens) (14:25): Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. I put it to you, Minister: are you not completely misreading your own government's agreement? Clause 26, from which you quoted, states: The State will ensure that, until the further independent verification process … is completed, wood supply required … will be sourced … sourced outside the 430,000 hectares … I ask: is the government, under the signature of the Prime Minister, not in complete breach of the word of this public agreement? Senator Brandis: Mr President, on a point of order: there is a prohibition against questions which ask for opinions on matters of law. This is plainly a question asking for an opinion on a matter of law—that is, the proper legal effect of a contractual document. Government senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: I am ruling that there is no point of order. The question stands.
