abc.net.au/news/victoria-forests-agency-cleared-possum-habitat-audit-says/101360288Victoria's government-owned logging company illegally cleared 1,000 square metres of protected possum habitat and broke the law in 25 out of 30 logging areas, according to a government-commissioned audit.
The report includes a comment from VicForests, in which the agency says the clearing was a result of a GPS error. The assessment measured Vicforests' activities against 169 different legal requirements, and found that on average 6 per cent of those requirements were breached in each logging area, or "coupe".
"Our staff are committed to continuously improving our practices and strive to demonstrate excellence in all that we do.
Really is appalling that the gvt run company is proud that it only broke the law a moderate amount. With so much of our unique wildlife threatened with extinction, they should be setting an example. There needs to be harsh penalties so they take the matter seriously. auspol
so no surprises here then
Every Forestry Corp across all states should be audited. You can guarantee that they all the same problem with scumbag loggers destroying what's left of our forests!!!
Dan needs to go to jail for his crimes.
Lindenmayer lies again..do some research ABC.
