On Tuesday June 28 more than a hundred people gathered on the steps of Parliament to oppose draconian new protest laws which have now passed the lower house of Parliament. The laws are set to find community members up to $21,000 for disrupting logging, or face 12 months imprisonment. VFA President Nic Fox read from a joint statement from environment, climate, legal and human rights groups calling the laws unnecessary and undemocratic, and for the bill to be withdrawn.
You can take action by emailing your local member and asking for the Sustainable Forests Bill (2022) to be withdrawn - and for forests to be protected from logging.
