Bob Brown Foundation loses Federal Court bid to end native forest logging in Tasmania
Tasmanian environmentalists have lost their Federal Court challenge aimed at ending native forest logging in Tasmania.
The Bob Brown Foundation took the Federal and Tasmanian Governments, along with Sustainable Timber Tasmania, to court in what environmentalists billed as “the great forest case”.
It argued the state’s Regional Forest Agreement (RFA) contradicted federal laws and was therefore invalid.
It submitted Tasmania’s RFA did not protect endangered species, particularly the swift parrot.
The Federal Court handed down its decision a short time ago.
The foundation posted on social media saying the decision was “just a setback” and did not change its campaign to end native forest logging.
More to come.
