Media Release: It's on again as Liberals target Tasmania's High Conservation Value forests
The announcement by Tasmanian Forests Minister Guy Barnett that he will allow logging in Tasmania's high conservation value forests will re-open the community division that have held Tasmania back for too long.
"This signals an appalling attack on Tasmania’s forests and an appalling waste of taxpayer money," Australian Greens Forests spokesperson Janet Rice said.
"It’s clear that the Tasmanian Government is ignoring the carbon value of these significant forests."
