Halt all operations in public forests

"Margo Kingston was arrested on Thursday after locking herself on to machinery at a protest against logging in Bulga state forest in mid-north NSW."

“I’m taking this action to protect this beautiful and biodiverse forest which is full of koalas and greater gliders,” she said before her arrest."

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."

‘Logging by stealth’ - The fight over the future of Victoria’s forests

"The Victorian Greens...have their concerns about the future of the forest and have accused the government of “logging by stealth” under the guise of fire management and storm clean-up."

"13,000 tonnes of debris was removed in the 2023-24 financial year, with 91% going to firewood “because it’s not suitable for anything else”.

“This is not just cleaning up some dangerous trees. This is large-scale bulldozing and razing incredibly important habitat without proper checks and balances, or surveying for threatened species ahead of time...A national park is the “only way” to provide the best future protection for the forests, and allow for the restoration of tree cover, species diversity and making the ecosystem functional again."

‘Lawless’ loggers?

'Rogue' government agency Forestry Corporation of NSW accused of more illegal logging

"There are fresh claims that a NSW government agency is illegally logging the habitats of threatened species. A New South Wales government agency has now racked up more than $1.1 million in penalties for more than a dozen instances of unlawful activity in less than five years, including seven criminal convictions.It also faces three more criminal prosecutions that could result in up to $12 million in additional penalties, if found guilty, and is under investigation for a further 18 potentially-illegal actions."

"That agency is the state government-owned logging company, Forestry Corporation of NSW...The ongoing breaches by Forestry Corporation, despite strong enforcement action by the EPA, suggested there was an ingrained culture of non-compliance at the logging agency.'"

Keeping watch over greater gliders in a forest targeted for logging

“No tree hollows – no owls, no gliders, no black cockatoos, no bats. A hollow can take 150 to 200 years to form.”

Bulga state forest, inland from Port Macquarie on the New South Wales mid-north coast is to be logged by the state-owned NSW Forestry Corporation.

"This unburnt forest – with its habitat for threatened species including the koala and glossy-black cockatoo, and critically endangered plants such as the rainforest tree Rhodamnia rubescens – has been a target for logging."

The Henry review "identified that native forest logging was damaging ecosystems and species and called for legislation related to biodiversity to be given primacy over other land management laws, including those that govern logging."

The greater glider population "halved in little more than 20 years, and it was listed under national environmental laws as endangered in 2022."

Arrest warrant issued for Aboriginal elder after no show in court over Tasmanian anti-logging protest

"A Tasmanian Aboriginal elder says he has no intention of appearing in court — or participating in the "colonial" judicial system — on a charge of trespass for taking part in a protest against native forest logging. A magistrate issued an arrest warrant for 81-year-old Jim Everett-puralia meenamatta this morning after he failed to appear in the Hobart Magistrates Court."

"Aboriginal people are a part of country and our major role is to protect country," he said. Our most important thing is to protect our forest and stop this old-growth logging, this destruction of our country...Protesters continue to be arrested regularly in Tasmania, and are usually charged with trespass."

After 25 years, logging and bushfires, a greater glider has been spotted in Deongwar state forest

"It will take more than a century for the glider habitat to be restored."

"“These animals need trees at least 150 years old; when you log a forest you change it in pretty dramatic ways,” says Prof David Lindenmayer from the Australian National University."

"Extensive selective logging removes a large proportion of mature, hollow-bearing trees that dozens of species rely on for survival. Their absence also alters the forest’s microclimate, increasing ambient temperatures and the risk of fire, Lindenmayer says. That’s bad news for greater gliders because they are very heat-sensitive animals,” he says."

"In the 90s greater gliders were common along Australia’s eastern seaboard. Habitat fragmentation and encroachment by urban sprawl, the felling of mature hollow-bearing trees and global heating have caused their population to decline rapidly."

"..The logging of state forests such as Deongwar will “leave a scar on the landscape for ever”."

NSW ecosystem degradation and science suppression
Mass fish kills as “natural events”.

The government is “elected to bring better decision-making and transparency to government in this state and that is what we are delivering across primary industries and regional development” Tara Moriarty, spokesperson for the NSW agriculture minister

“The public gets to hear the messages the department wants to tell them...There’s still a really strong culture of suppressing science and limited sharing of information within the public service."

"Even though scientists are supposed to be independent, there’s often pressure to stay silent on some research results...They "use PR narratives to shape the message into something they believe is palatable”.

“The environment would be much better off and our democracy would be stronger if we were able to share information about the state of our environment freely. Then people can vote after being fully informed about how government is managing the environment.”
