I suspect around some of the Vic timber towns the Bullbars might be relabelled in coming weeks, Brandtbars, Greenbars!
Green can be a horribly introspective culture, banning "old growth" logging, but really much of the alleged "old growth" has been logged at least once or twice over the last 120 years. So technically what is "old growth" to someone in 2023?
I thought it made sense to work towards the sustainable management of "old growth" versus softwoods and plantation renewables. All that was needed was a total quota that restricted old growth felling regions to once every 50 or 80 years and it would have been all OK, that by definition is a restriction to 1.25% to 2% per year!
