Last night, Tony Abbott told the timber industry that too much native forest was "locked up" in national parks -- and that logging companies were the "ultimate conservationists".
Abbott's new forests policy? No more national parks, the destruction of Tasmania's World Heritage listed forests -- and an announcement that our pristine wilderness is now "open for business". This is corporate power gone crazy: a Prime Minister bowing to the extreme policy of an industry lobby, instead of listening to the public. We have to show him that we won't just stand back and accept this.
Tell Tony Abbott now: keep your hands off our national parks! Commit to protect our forests now.
