I thank Mr. Gleeson and all of the crew from the Department for their attendance today. I will start with forestry. My question is simple and relates to the ongoing and persistent licensing crisis. We have never had more resources in the Department. We passed emergency legislation to provide more resources, including more ecologists, but the crisis seems to be getting worse.

Could Mr. Gleeson explain that for me, bearing in mind that we are on limited time and I have two other questions?
