Thread: Red gum loss

just checked it out
What a crock sitting in Sydney and changing the bush

What's happening in the bush (Deniliquin, Mathoura, Barma) is completely uncalled for, this is all political and there is no real environmental reason for doing it...this is just another thing that the NSW government has screwed up.

Turning these places into National Parks is a massive mistake. According this story, these places were already State Forest, listed as internationally significant, and the logging scrutinised by the NSW forestry dept and not considered determental.

What the Greens are doing is wrong, what the Labor party is doing is wrong. I just don't see how an industry that supports whole towns can be closed down overnight without proper scientific study...it stinks of corruption and back room deals.

Whats new? This states (NSW) labour gov't made a high percentage of productive sustainable state forests into national parks to get the green preferences, put thousands of people out of work, destroyed a sustainable industry, made the native vegetation act so restrictive & onerous there is not enough public or private resources to supply the demand for the very few remaining mills left, plus now to replace this lost resource some of the timber supplying the demand is coming from places where deforestation is of global concern. Plus increased our state & foreign deficit & unemployment in one stupid act.
doesn't suprise me at all.

Gotta be a wake up call to us up here in QLD I ve got to tell you. We are already seeing the restrictions on private land up here. Still the blind arrogence is austounding I worked for RCL at Deni but they shut it down that pretty much killed it how much more can it take . There s a balence out there some where surly. Hopfully some of us wont bury our heads in the sand on this.

they have been talking about protecting river reds for years.

itspos - there are ways to get around any restrictions placed on private freehold land.

lets just hope labour dosent get in and the greens get there way. tehy want to close all natural forests to logging and restrict plantations. they also want to stop quarying and restrict mining. if we dont watch out well all have to live under a tarp cos tehre are no building materials avalable. so long as makign tarps dosent produce to mutch greenhouse gass.

Just put the Greens last on the ballot paper when you vote!
Nuff said.

hey carl you forgot to mention another very important thing close to our hearts,the bloody GREENS will also close all the good close fishing grounds,no milling, no fishing what's a man to do

we can all go and plant trees in any good pasture we can find.
