Senator CONROY (Victoria—Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister on Digital Productivity) (14:22): The independent verification group being led by Professor Jonathan West is making good progress and expects to present its final report by the end of February. While this is a little longer than originally envisaged, it is a complex process and it is vital that the group takes the time to get it right. The group's final advice will inform the development of a second conservation agreement to protect additional areas of native forest that are found to be of high conservation value and compatible with the industry wood supply guarantees. The second conservation agreement will protect these areas until formal legislative protection is provided by the Tasmanian parliament. On the very specific question that I think was also included there, Senator Brown, I will seek further information from Minister Burke.
