Labor is thumbing its nose at the State election result and the views of its heartland voters.
Nothing will sway Labor’s determination to deliver on the disastrous lock-ups that have devastated the forest industry, which has seen employment cut by more than 60%.
The Second Reading vote on the Forestry Bill confirms that the Greens don’t need to look further for like-minded replacements for their lost MPs.
Bryan Green and David Llewellyn have shown by their actions that they are the Greens’ best friends in Braddon and Lyons.
Labor has learned nothing from its biggest-ever electoral flogging.
Its refusal to acknowledge the Government’s overwhelming mandate to tear up the disastrous forests deal will do nothing to restore their standing with voters.
Paul Harriss, Minister for Resources
