Jeff BOURMAN (Eastern Victoria) (13:52): With the timber industry, the government must have known this was going to happen prior to the 2022 election. There is no way they could have just found this sort of money out of nowhere. To take seven years off the time line of the shutdown is just unconscionable. It is unbelievable. What is probably bothering me the most is the ‘giving certainty’ line being pushed, because it is nothing more than Orwellian.
