I understand that not everybody cares about a skink in the Western Desert, or an invertebrate, this is the KOALA that is threatened! Why isn't that top priority?

And...if you have forgotten, Premier Minns.
I,for one, have not.

How does forestry hold so much power over labor?

gregdingo.bsky.social•17 days ago

Labor both state and federal have proven themselves to be gutless cowards grovelling before all media and lobbyists

againstcorruption.bsky.social•17 days ago

Yes

They need to get the F%$#& out of the cFmeu

Aka 'Forestry'

The Australian mining and native forest logging industries employ only about 2% of the labour force,
We have political leaders who insist that mining and forestry underwrite Australian prosperity. Those who believe this nonsense cannot be trusted with the wellbeing of future generations.

Absolutely. Koalas cannot go extinct in the wild on our watch.

Do better, Premier Minns.

Victoria has banned old growth logging. It should be national.

Touring Tasmania right now, and as you drive along its hard not to cry sometimes.

'cus me ... Premier Minns is busy jailing graffitists to worry about core promises for 🐨's

wildlymanifest.bsky.social•13 days ago

and jailing protestors, not hard to see whose side Minns is on …

bp740.bsky.social•13 days ago

Of course they folded to big money lobbyists.

franceswilmore.bsky.social•17 days ago

Minns has folded on every promise so far

oldwhitebeard49.bsky.social•17 days ago

on last available stats, 0.42%, and falling, of national workforce is employed in logging, much less in native forest logging. The sooner native forest logging goes extinct, the better.

Less than 200 in Victoria and that was 2008!

In 2023,
Penny Sharpe: "The creation of the Great Koala National Park is essential to saving koalas from extinction in NSW"

Tara Moriaty: “The Great Koala National Park is a high priority & we are working hard across govt to establish this significant undertaking."

Good piece fr Mike DiGirolamo

Remember these?

Folded being the operative word. The sooner the 88%male dominated #CFMEU is disbanded and stops ruining our children’s future the better for all of us!

We've just about run out of time. Our endangered koalas and other bush dwellers need urgent assistance. STOP BLOODY LOGGING.

roseannebyrne.bsky.social•17 days ago

Yes. Our bush needs all the help and safety it can get. The 19/20 fires are still impacting massive areas .

ko-walla.bsky.social•17 days ago

Are they really too stupid to realise this or is it greed driven?

roseannebyrne.bsky.social•17 days ago

It’s timidity. And ignorance and a very Sydney centric focus.

roseannebyrne.bsky.social•17 days ago

Hard to see the bush from Macquarie St. I drive down Princes Highway often and can see the thin reedy new growth among the black scarred trunks. Saplings that blow over at the slightest breeze. And the light through where there used to be dense forest. Our poor animals have little protection.

ko-walla.bsky.social•17 days ago

😢

roseannebyrne.bsky.social•17 days ago

Logging which runs at a loss as well. It’s insanity to feed largely pulp mills. #koalanationalpark

kimbasgarden.bsky.social•17 days ago

Sadly can't read the article and the story doesn't seem to have been picked up elsewhere.
I assume NSW gov is proposing a delay or change to the park boundary?
