I wonder whether the global rainforests, unlike the Greens, are thanking Steve Bracks for closing down sustainably managed logging in the Otways? All this will do is reduce the couple of minutes that it takes to destroy - not sustainably harvest - a rainforest the size of the MCG somewhere on our planet to satisfy the lefties' appetite for wood and wood-based products.

And do not be fooled about plantations saving the day. They use heaps of our most valuable resource: water.
