A Green front group should be condemned for boasting that its “devastating campaign in the markets” was responsible for damaging our forest industry.
Markets For Change made the claim in an email seeking donations for it to continue its efforts to hurt the State’s brand.
This really demonstrates how callous these extremists are when they would celebrate hundreds of lost jobs and devastated local communities, which were a direct result of their actions.
What should concern Tasmanians even more is that the inexperienced Labor Opposition is not only failing to stand up to these disgraceful acts, it is supporting the Green cause.
Labor continues to oppose the Liberal Government’s move to reopen production forests to save jobs and end the public subsidies.
The Hodgman Liberal Government will never stop standing up for a sustainable forest industry and we make no apologies for making jobs our first priority.
We will not be held hostage to the Greens and their demands.
It is time for Labor to finally cut its Green ties and stand up for jobs.
