Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 09/07/2011 - 4:10pm

Before first light the police arrived in force. There have been 25 arrests today. Around 100 campers were woken by police. At least 70 Police ahead of a huge convoy of Browse Joint Venture vehicles including bulldozers and other heavy machinery approached the camp. In the pre-dawn 7 Police cars were at first held up. After some discussion the police vehicles were allowed through – just like all tourists and local vehicles have been for 30 days (without the friendly wave and well wishes that were customary).

WA Forest Alliance crash Forestry Minister’s secret launch of timber industry report

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Wed, 06/07/2011 - 3:41pm

Forest activists have today crashed the secret launch of a report that identifies plans to use native timbers for biochar and biofuels as one of four actions designed to strengthen the ailing logging industry in WA.

Alliance spokesperson Jess Beckerling said, “The Minister intended to release this report to a select few industry proponents because he knows that there is no way that its content will be acceptable to the broader community.”
