Locals watch on in despair as the first trees cut from native forest in Warburton are taken away for wood-chips. This is dramatically increasing the fire risk for our community in the years to come ⁦@DanielAndrewsMP⁩ ⁦@JaclynSymes⁩ STOP LOGGING SO CLOSE TO OUR HOMES

Dan Andrews, 90% of Victorians want their native forests protected from being plundered by VicForests, so why do you continue to fund these cowboys $21m a year to increase emissions (= 700,000 cars a year) and destroy our children’s heritage?#EcologicalGenocide #ClimateEmergency

BREAKING: Environment Minister @tanya_plibersek will reassess 18 major coal and gas proposals for climate harm. This is HUGE. Our client @ECoCeQ launched this landmark legal intervention in July. It’s time to face this. #LivingWonders #BeforeItsGone envirojustice.org.au/blog/me…

Here, she notes how VicForests in this case resisted expert ecological evidence - even that provided by its own expert. Our opinion: it really is time to shut down this dysfunctional organisation. 4/4

Justice Richards found that VicForests' current survey methods and harvesting methods are inadequate to protect threatened Gliders. Also, VicForests thought a newly amended definition of the precautionary principle within its own Code could be understood 'a different way' 3/4

The judge notes how in its appeal in the earlier Leadbeaters Possum case (2020), VicForests succeeded on only 1 of 31 initial grounds, relating to the EPBC Act. In fact, VicForests has now been found to be in breach of the same Code provision in two separate court cases. 2/4

Hi y'all! I'll just tweet out this one section of the judgement from the Gliders case yesterday. The judge found that VicForests does not apply the precautionary principle to maintain biodiversity values, nor does it identify such values in its planning. 1/4

As we anxiously await judgement for the glider case, last night we celebrated the fantastic work of these dedicated, hard-working legal teams & community groups who take on a mammoth task holding the gov's logging agency accountable to the law. Thank you for all you do! 1/2

Daniel Andrews,why did you bankroll VicForests in long and expensive court cases only for it to found that they are literally killing endangered animals and destroying their habitat in their reckless logging operations in our forests? Are you listening yet?#VoteForests #vicpol

We’re excited and relieved to have finalised our 5 year court case and receive the cost of $$$ 1,650,000 from VicForests. A huge thank you to all of our supporters. WE DID IT!

Dan Andrews what do you have against forests, trees, Greater Gliders? Leadbeaters Possums, koalas and other endangered species? Why do you think it’s ok to use our money to trash our forests and now jail those trying to protect them?

Bit strange the article doesn't mention that Mountain & Alpine Ash forests have been & continue to be decimated by clear-fell logging by Victorian state gov. Impacts are so bad more than 1/2 of Ash areas logged are failing to regenerate: geco.org.au/new_report_expos…
