Over to you @VicForestsComms
Replying to @EnviroVic
Thank you for this report as a fellow researcher in related areas what @vic_forests is doing across this state is obscene in the extreme. So much destruction of trees land & creatures cannot go on unchecked. It must be disbanded now! The employees have plenty of time to reskill

How can @vic_forests kerp doing this knowing the real time impact they are forcing in the whole environment? What are they harming so many native creatures deliberately? Why are they not planning to reskill themselves? So many of us do this throughout our lives!

We have to make sure these charges stick!! A real example to all others, eg @vic_forests @VicForestsComms @DELWP_Vic!! We are not stupid

From @denticulata (EEG) who are taking government owned VicForests to court over logging of Greater Glider habitat in Errinundra, where protests stopped logging for 4 months! Click below to make a tax-deductible donation to support their legal challenge. eastgippsland.net.au/featureโ€ฆ
Ho bloody ho. Let the forest go. #stoplogging #vicforests #springst
Santa visited the Central Highlands this week! He said: 'These trees are a gift to humanity, they provide for us in ways that are no less than miraculous'. But those grinches at @VicForestsComms don't feel the same way.
More than disingenuous it should be argued. If a government knows that a commercial enterprise could/will endanger human life and probably cause death then it surely has a duty to act? (But, yes, the Govt owns the commercial enterprise.) #springst
Itโ€™s utterly disingenuous to claim either side of politics cares about fires and our towns when their mutually agreed logging program is making the forests more fire prone. State government holding back data on fire danger heraldsun.com.au/news/victorโ€ฆ

Oh crikey, by golly. Yes, the political party recently on the verge of being de-registered due to falling membership has a brain fart of an idea to try and address its relevance deficit #auspol #springst #crymeariver
.@The_Nationals petition to save native forest logging industry has a photo of a plantation & says industry employs 21,000 (3/4+ of which are in plantation sector & unaffected by NF logging policy)! About 2000 jobs in NF logging that can be transitioned to plantation #SpringSt

Well blow me down. Who? Why?
A day in the life...wildlife dumped in a bin in Toolangi. Gliders. Thanks @ZoosVictoria for such a bright, caring and knowledgeable team. The autopsy will tell us more.

Geez...! Yeh, youโ€™ve gotta do the math and then you realise itโ€™s just a shit show of lies, deception, obfuscation and desperation. 87% of logging/harvesting (whatever palatable word is used) goes to making paper, not flooring & furniture #stoplogging

Oh, geez. It reminds me of the taxi licensing shitstorm. Honest Aussieโ€™s investing in licenses and/or vehicles without ability for proper risk management. These contractors are invested to the point they canโ€™t question the madness. Thatโ€™s a madness in itself
Business as usual for loggers in Toolangi this morning @JaclynSymes #loggingkillswildlife #extinction

Golly, gee! When, indeed. Complicit in a wide scale deception to allow uneconomical, unsustainable, unethical logging of Victoriaโ€™s precious native forest. Shame.
That's only part of the truth. Many planned burns are logging burns, which give off large amounts of smoke. Sometimes the smoke ends up in the city, affecting millions of people. When will the EPA start policing logging burns? #nativelogging #pollution
