The term "Regrowth Forest" is often used by the government and logging industry to devalue a forest ecosystem in order for it to be intensively logged!

[Ben Gill @bengilltiger23]

Big questions for #springst with news coming out of NSW on Senior ETU official arrested with 167 guns and $120,000 cash. Last year @Steve_Dimo and @JacintaAllanMP announced the opening of Snowy River NP and Errinundra NP to shooting at request of ETU. https://t.co/gaFgVPacWn

Why does @Steve_Dimo keep throwing our wildlife, parks and public safety at the feet of the shooting lobby in Victoria?

The continued protection of feral deer over native wildlife and ecosystems and the shooting of native wildlife are not modern values let alone labor values

[Jordan Crook @JCrooka]

Feral deer lobbists and the @ETU_national are dancing for joy as their "protected game" aka feral deer swarm farmland & the bush. There is no doubt they are the new Cane Toad, but instead of ramping up control, @Steve_Dimo maintains their protection under our "Wildlife Act" 🙄

[Sarah Rees @sarahrees]

Who’s the piper playing the tune here? Why is the Minister refusing a park that the public supports and taxpayers already funded millions to plan? #forestindustrytaskforce 🤔

[Sarah Rees @sarahrees]

No doubt the Minister for Environmental Disappointments will once again sidestep the core ask – the Great Forest National Park. If he greenlights stealth logging and shooting in our region, jobs and tourism opportunities will vanish along with the forests. #springst #GFNP

@sarahrees I feel so assured that this person is a registered firearms user. A person of exceptional character!

“The Allan Labor government’s continued cutting spree will steal these collections from Victorians by reducing access, and push our creative industry workers to the wall,”‘ Museums Victoria to cut 55 jobs, raise ticket prices after funding smashed https://t.co/w9SsKJlkhI

[The Saturday Paper @SatPaper]

The Electrical Trades Union has used its political leverage to keep Victoria’s Central Highlands open for hunting, in the midst of a national backtracking on forest conservation. https://t.co/o8C62wnfrR

[Chris Taylor @ChrisPauciflora]

@sarahrees @SatPaper Great article @sarahrees exposing the political power network against conservation. That photo looks to me like it could have been taken at an NRA convention in the US!

[Sarah Rees @sarahrees]

Bang, bang ‼️ they shot it down.
The ETU sided with the gun lobby to kill a national park taxpayers shelled out $1.2B for …and Labor just walked away - hmmm why?🤔

@JCrooka @JacintaAllanMP @Steve_Dimo Militant unions are dictating public land use policy in Victoria. The Allan government is sidelining the broader public interest to appease a comparatively small group of firearm users.

[Jordan Crook @JCrooka]

Last week Premier @JacintaAllanMP and @Steve_Dimo smashed the Alpine National Parks Management Plan by letting rec shooters into the Errinundra National Park and Snowy River National Park with zero public consultation and no known or public risk assessments.

[Sarah Rees @sarahrees]

The Minister for Lies and Broken Promises just sent the eastern forests back into the hands of the loggers, after $1.5B of public money paid to end logging and create a park, consistent with taskforce & VEAC report. Victorians get nothing robbed, for these interests. #springst

[Chris Taylor @ChrisPauciflora]

@JCrooka @VictorianLabor @Steve_Dimo It’s strange that Minister Dimopoulos is capitulating to groups that have made it clear they’ll never vote Labor. Just look at the rhetoric many of them use on social media … they’re more aligned with One Nation. Is that really the direction the Minister wants to be heading?

[Ben Gill @bengilltiger23]

Outrageous conflict of a Ministers role and position. @JacintaAllanMP and @Steve_Dimo the scientists; academics; volunteers; environment groups are asking you to pull your socks up. ORAG are trying to turn the bush into their own private playground at great cost to nature.

[Chris Taylor @ChrisPauciflora]

@MichaelGumley @sarahrees And I was out riding on a trail in rural Vic a few years back and someone pulled a gun on me and pointed at my face without any provacation. So, yes, I am cautious of some who are allowed to have guns.

[Chris Taylor @ChrisPauciflora]

@MichaelGumley @sarahrees I have no problem with responsible firearm owners, the ones with cool heads. It’s the ones who can’t control their emotions I worry about.

[Ben Gill @bengilltiger23]

Completely cooked @Steve_Dimo @JacintaAllanMP @VictorianLabor This is the crap you get when Joe Rogan dictates bogan policy. Labor wants to go into bat for women yet supports toxic crap like this. Never thought Id see the day Labor formed a coalition with the Nationals. Shame.

[Chris Taylor @ChrisPauciflora]

@MichaelGumley @sarahrees The way many firearm owners behave on social media deeply concerns me. If someone can’t control their emotions behind a keyboard, how can we trust them to control their emotions with their finger on the trigger? I don’t feel safe hiking in areas where shooting is allowed.
