CHAIRMAN -I refer you to subprogram 3.1, Geoscience Research and Resource Assessment. SENATOR WALTERS -I would like to ask a general question. I believe at the moment, and I think it probably would come under this area, there is a prohibition on sheep embryos coming into Australia from the UK or from Europe. Is

SENATOR PETER BAUME -I turn first to the objectives which you have identified for this program. They are put in terms of activities that do certain things. Do you have objectives to achieve any of these? As the objective is stated, it is an objective to do, to foster. MR IVES -The broad

ESTIMATES COMMITTEE F : 13/10/1988 : DEPARTMENT OF PRIMARY INDUSTRIES AND ENERGY : Subprogram 1.2-Crops : [Senate Estimates]

SENATOR SHEIL -I want to ask a question with regard to the removal of the sugar embargo. Did the Department recommend the removal of the embargo because that is going to have some drastic effects on the sugar industry itself plus on the domestic price of sugar? MR IVES -The removal of the

SENATOR SHEIL -My question relates to administrative expenses, dealt with on page 54. I notice you had an estimated jump there of over 100 per cent, yet your staff is only going to increase by about 10 per cent and your salaries and payments in the nature of salary are estimated to rise

SENATOR PETER BAUME -I appreciate that the objective of subprogam 1.4 is a set of activities.

SENATOR SHEIL -I have a question on the administrative expenses for coal, dealt with on page 81. It is very similar to the question I asked previously. You have a 434 per cent jump in your estimated administrative expenses and I am just wondering what is involved in that jump because you do not

SENATOR SHEIL -This question concerns your national afforestation program. I notice that you are going to spend $15m over the next three years on it.

SENATOR ARCHER -First of all, I think it would be only fair to say that the publication that started off within the division and which is called the `Red Book' overseas is probably the most significant document ever produced for the rural industry anywhere in the world. I think it is the one

CHAIRMAN -Senator Sheil left me some questions here, so I will ask these in relation to subprogram 3.3. They are not my questions so if they do not make too much sense I will not be able to elaborate on them I am afraid. Sorry, I do not mean that in any disparaging

CHAIRMAN -Are there any questions? SENATOR ZAKHAROV -Yes. This is a reference to the Commonwealth energy management program, and it may be a very short answer.
