The NPWS is full of Green ideologues, whereas forestry is full of foresters - more practical people, who know that it's better to harvest part of a forest than have the lot burned down. Better for a few of the fauna to lose a home when trees are fallen, than be wiped out most cruelly by fire.
The Greens have removed bridges and access roads in some National Parks to keep people out. The result is that firefighters have not been able to gain access to remote fires. And as a result of Green policies, hardwood (eucalypt) sawmills have been closed down, while softwood (radiata pine) has been substituted. This has resulted in foreign species being grown in place of native ones.
For too long, the Greens have been beyond criticism.
