148 NEW NATIONAL PARKS BEING LOGGED:

CARR ADOPTS TUCKEYS "MOBILE" NATIONAL PARK PROPOSAL

Media Release, The Wilderness Society, 16/12/98



"Whilst Federal minister for forestry, Wilson Tuckey has been trumpeting his "mobile National Park" model for forest "conservation" it seems the Carr government has already implemented it by including many previously logged areas in new National Parks and handing pristine forests to the woodchippers. The Tuckey model is based on the idea that woodchipping of National Park forests does not adversely effect the parks nature conservation role."
