The Victorian Labor government has decided to bring forward the ban and closure of native hardwood timber industry to 2024, instead of 2030 like previously promised.
The flow on affect of this will be astronomical and it seems a lot of people in Victoria and Australia do not realise how little Vic forests actually harvests per year.
I demonstrate this later in the video by using the MCG as a scale.
Over 5000 jobs will be lost due to this decision and small timber towns will become ghost towns.
Australia will now rely heavily on importing finished hardwood products from areas overseas that are not regulated to the same standard as here in Victoria.
This decision by the Labor government is devastating. Gut wrenching, and quite frankly appalling.
Timber is the most sustainable resource that humans can use to build with. Whilst not only removing carbon from the air, these trees also provide oxygen in their years of growing.
Once the tree is cut down, that carbon is stored for the lifetime of that product.
Another tree is planted in its place for future harvesting.
My message to the Government is this.
Cut trees not jobs !
