Mr. Brendan Lacey:

I wish to add to that point. There is another strange provision. If conditions are applied to a felling licence and that licence is subsequently revoked, those conditions can still be enforced. This means a grower could be in a position whereby if he had not bothered to apply for a licence, he would not have those conditions. If a grower did apply, the licence was revoked and the grower was left with those conditions, the grower would have to bear the cost of that without the benefit of what he was supposed to be doing in the first place, that is, getting revenue from his timber sales.
