Summary

Edit

The majority voted in favour of a motion to disallow certain items of schedule 1 of the Illegal Logging Prohibition Amendment (Due Diligence Improvements) Regulations 2017.

This motion was introduced by Labor Senators Carol Brown and Deborah O'Neill, Derryn Hinch's Justice Party Senator Derryn Hinch and Greens Senator Janet Rice due to concerns that these Regulations weakened certain provisions currently in place against illegal logging.

That items 1, 3 to 8, 11 to 13, 16 to 19, 21 to 25, 28 to 30, and 33 to 36 of Schedule 1 of the Illegal Logging Prohibition Amendment (Due Diligence Improvements) Regulation 2017, made under the Illegal Logging Prohibition Act 2012, be disallowed [F2017L01338].
