I want to support Senator Daly. I know of two constituents who received the exact same answer from the Department as Senator Daly. Both of them were replanting their land as well after clearfelling. They had to sign up to say that they would replant when they planted their land 30 years ago. They cannot understand why there is such a time delay when there is no change of land use or anything else; it is only replanting. If one cuts a crop of barley, one does not have to go back and look for permission to sow a crop of barley the year after.
