Name: Natalie Wells on Mar 16, 2010Comments: The unfortunate events of the fires on Black Saturday have left many families in Victoria devastated. Therefore, it is increasingly unfortunate to hear that the new Timber Release Plan's (TRP's) contain many new areas of old growth forest that will be destroyed forever.Flag

Name: Debra Goldsmith on Mar 17, 2010Comments: This would be an irresponsible action which conflicts with the governments responsibilty to preserve what little is left of Gippslands significant forests. If this government does not have the intelligence and imagination to find alternatives to unsustainable environmental abuse they should get out and leave it to people who do.Flag

Name: Scott Foyster on Mar 17, 2010Comments: The notion of clearing more land and trees and therefore drying out the rest of forest in order to prevent a bush fire is ridiculous. As many reports and accounts said, the fires of Black Saturday jumped across the top of the trees, not through the understorey. Forests store carbon and help reduce greenhouse gas levels. We need to ensure that there more of these and also come up with a better policy around dealing with catastrophic fires other than just chopping down all the trees.Flag

Name: Luke McLean on Mar 17, 2010Comments: An irresponsible ammendment at the expense of environmental capital. When will people start to realise that the environment is not something that can be exploited until it is completely used, but that it needs to be treated with care ... and respect.Flag

Name: Margo Van Der Voort on Mar 17, 2010Comments: It is very clear to me what is at stake here. Not preservation of a unique forest area in the world. A huge carbon reservoir. It's feeding the saw mills that government choses to fund, and more logging is continuing to finish Victoria off. Another desert created. Pristine water no more, contaminated by plantation forsts, and on the story goes..... This can not be justified to future generations. The death warrant is signed and sealed. This is NOT responsible protection, it's an assault!Flag

We value being heard on this matter and hope you will take our concerns into consideration. We demand that these logging operations never take place.Flag

Name: Matthew Farrugia on Mar 17, 2010Comments: Trees are our future, cutting them down worsens it, protecting them protects our species, as well as the earth as we know it. Living amongst trees that use fire to regenerate is unsustainable, if something needs to be moved/removed to reduce the fire risk* (only to humans) then the humans should move.Flag

Name: Lemme Saunders on Mar 17, 2010Comments: Logging old growth only harms the environment we live in. Logging in the name of stemming bushfires has to be the fastest way to ecological disaster the country has ever seen. More Stupid than the stopping of back burning.Flag

Name: Maree Grenfell on Mar 17, 2010Comments: Please reconsider the logging old growth forests in Victoria and consider the opportunities for timber reuse instead. The clear fell logging of Victorian forests is decreasing the resilience of our forests to cope with more dramatic natural disasters such as fires.Flag

Name: Colin Silvey on Mar 17, 2010Comments: With the current situation regarding climate change and unprecedented extinction rates, to continue to log the small amount of whats left of Victoria's native forests is a crime. Particularly for paper. Shame on you all.Flag

Name: Margot Reeve on Mar 17, 2010Comments: I am very opposed to this. Whats next? Logging more forest will only render our ecosystem more vulnerable; more fires are inevitable anyway; and the way the timber industry is set up is inherently unsustainable anyway. With the logic you are using to release more forest, the whole area will be logged. This is NOT acceptable.Flag
