Senator BOB BROWN (Tasmania—Leader of the Australian Greens) (14:18): Mr President, my question goes to the Minister representing the Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities. In the Australian government's report to the World Heritage Committee for submission by 1 February about the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, is it not the case that the government has misled that global authority by stating that, under the terms of the intergovernmental agreement in Tasmania, significant iconic areas adjacent to the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area will be given interim protection from logging activities and names them while an independent verification process takes place? Is it not true that while that process is taking place those very areas are subject to logging?
