A triumphant president of the Environment Centre, Adam Burling, who was one of the individuals named in the injunction, described the dismissal of the case as a triumph for democracy and free speech.
He described the attempted injunction application as part of the new “heavy-handed” tactics being played by Forestry Tasmania and the Lennon Government in the ongoing dispute about the logging of Tasmania’s native forests.
Mr Burling said the peaceful march into the out-of-bounds Weld Valley on Sunday organised by the Huon Valley Environment Centre would now go ahead unimpeded, with hopes more than 100 protestors will “bear witness’’ to the “utrageous logging of wild ancient forests’’ now underway.
