The Tasmanian Liberal Government welcomes today's decision in the High Court regarding the Blue Derby logging coupes.
The decision provides further confidence that Tasmania’s forest practices system is well-managed, robust, and best practice.
It also further underlines the extreme extent that green groups are prepared to go in their efforts to end sustainable native forestry, at great expense to the taxpayer.
Today’s decision is welcome news for our forestry industry that supports the livelihoods of over 5,000 fellow Tasmanians, many in rural and regional areas.
Tasmania’s forestry families can rest assured the Tasmanian Liberal Government will always back them.
