    5887 Urgtelatuwo Aeevmbtg Tuesday, 17 November 1987 THE SPEAKER (Mr Barnett) took the Chair at 2. 15 pm, and read prayers. FORESTS Preservation:Petition DR LAWRENCE (Subiaco) [2.16 pm]: I have a petition couched in the following terms -- We, the undersigned, support: 1. Greater Government efforts to protect Western Australia's mature native forest heritage. The SPEAKER: Order! I do not know whether members have noticed it or not, but at the commencement of sittings it is particularly difficult to hear members in respect of the delivery of petitions and often in respect of notices and the next sets of events that happen. I wonder if we could have a little less background conversation and a little more volume from the members who are making the delivery so that our guests can also hear and understand what is going on. Dr LAWRENCE: The petition continues -- 2. An expanded National Park and Nature Reserve system to include all CALM's proposed reserves with additional areas in the wandoo, southern jarrah and karri forests. 3. An independent inquiry into Western Australia's woodchip/tirnber industries and forest management. 4. Restructuring of Western Australia's woodchip industry so that it only uses sawmill residues and resources from plantations established on already cleared land. Your petitioners, therefore, humbly pray that you will give this manoer your earnest attention and your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray. The petition bears 3 664 signatures and I certify that it conforms to the Standing Orders of the Legislative Assembly. The SPEAKER: I direct that the petition be brought to the Table of the House.
