Full of birds, marsupials and rare species, this ancient eucalypt forest with its rainforests and ferneries below, is of World Heritage significance. The Rudd and Bartlett Labor governments will convert it to export woodchips within weeks to benefit Gunns profit line. This is a global disgrace. Instead of inspiring forests we are left with scorched Earth.
A large convoy of police raided the Florentine blockade to coincide with the beginning of logging season. The imminent logging operation there is a national disgrace.
