Forestry Corporation of NSW has ‘a pattern’ of illegally damaging the environment, scathing judgment finds

"A court has released a scathing judgment against the New South Wales’ state-owned forest agency, finding it had “a pattern” of illegally damaging the environment and had refused to accept the “true extent of the harm that it has caused”."

"The Land and Environment Court fined the Forestry Corporation of NSW (FCNSW) $360,000 for offences related to the logging of 53 eucalyptus trees in environmentally significant forest near Eden, in the state’s south, after the black summer bushfires."

"The court accepted an EPA submission that the agency had “a pattern of environmental offending, has not provided any compelling evidence of measures taken by it to prevent its reoffending, and does not accept the true extent of harm that it has caused by its offending...Justice Rachel Pepper agreed that any penalty imposed on the Forestry Corporation “must serve to deter it from future criminality”.

“The government is ultimately responsible for the Forestry Corporation, and have a duty to protect the people and environment of NSW from this rogue state-owned corporation."

Stop logging native forests everywhere

On 19 February 2024, Bob Brown and two activists were arrested in the Styx Valley in lutruwita / Tasmania for defending World Heritage value forest from the loggers' chainsaws.

The obligation of scientists to speak the truth for the common good:

Why the NSW Government’s ‘provisional’ Koala Park will not save koalas

"A precautionary approach would suspend all logging – now. "

"The current approach to maintaining those small areas of hardwood plantation in wood production will result in a ‘Swiss cheese’ park, full of holes, with isolated populations of koala incapable of moving across the landscape. The ‘Great Koala Park’ will become the Great Koala Ghetto. Clear-fall forestry, as prescribed for areas zoned plantation, is incompatible with sustainable koala populations."
