PREMIER Lara Giddings has vowed to stay out of forest peace negotiations as industry leaders and environmentalists continue to hold informal talks.
Ms Giddings said she and Deputy Premier Bryan Green had been given briefings on the informal talks between the warring parties but would not be intervening.
"I have had conversations with all parties, ENGOs [environmental non-government organisations] and those from industry to get a handle on where they are at and what the next steps are," she said this morning.
"Talks are still continuing. But let me be very clear, the Government is not in the middle of those discussions negotiating an outcome.
"That has never been our intention. It is not the process and that is not what is occurring."
Signatories to the forest peace plan declared the talks dead more than a week ago.
Informal discussions continued, however, a few days later, despite a self-imposed deadline expiring last Wednesday.
Ms Giddings said she remained optimistic but she was no more confident today than she was last week, when she stated the talks were "not over until they are over".
"Until I see ink on paper, I don't know," she said.
