Under New South Wales law, it is legal to log native state forests, a place which is habitat for endangered animals such as Koalas and greater gliders. Across the state, groups have organised political actions to show parliament their dissatisfaction with the logging industry. Grace O’Shannessy sat down with Takesa Frank, an environmental activist from the Brooman state forest conservation group to discuss the petition signed by 21,000 people to ask the government to stop the logging of Native forests in New South Wales, the process of bringing the petition to New South Wales State parliament and what is coming next for the campaign to protect native forests. Audio of the rally has been sourced from the North East Forest Alliance video archive.
The voices heard in that story were those of Environmental Activist Takesa Frank, Member for the Legislative Council NSW Sue Higginson, Member for the Legislative Council Justin Robert Field and the Honourable Shelley Hancock, Member for the South Coast.
