Senator CADELL (New South Wales) (17:31): I have a few quick questions, if I may. I'm putting my emergency management hat on and then my forestry hat. I think there are a lot of outcomes we all share. It's just that the methods for getting to them may be different. I understand that hazard reduction burns and preparatory burns are not affected by this legislation—can you confirm that?
