The pathetic, hypocritical stance of Rudd, Wong and Garrett in Bali isn't
really fooling anyone. If they were serious about deforestation and
atmospheric carbon they would do the following: Permanently end for ever
the clear-felling of native forest, permitting only high-value selective
logging.
Scale-back the open-ended MIS-forestry that is stealing Australias best
farming land and water.
Stop funding Gunns pulp mill with direct subsidies and infrastructure.
Source all wood-chips from the plantation forests that the Australian
taxpayer has spent billions planting. Carry out an immediate inquiry into
corruption in the wood chip industry in Tasmania.
