Tasmanian Liberals are vowing to postpone the heritage listing of native forests, further delaying a resolution of the decades-long community division.
Last Thursday the Tasmania Labor Government announced protection of 170,000 hectares of forests as part of the proposed forestry peace deal.
Liberal Senator Richard Colbeck told ABC on Friday the party opposed the deal on the grounds that it poses problems for mining and undermines parliamentary scrutiny of the peace agreement.
Senator Colbeck's clarification on how the protection does so has been sought.
