There’s about 7,000 loggers in Tasmania. The tourism industry employs about 38,000 people in a wide range of occupations. In that context we can see that it is the loggers who are the noisy minority — a courageous political decision. When the PM calls everyone outside the logging industry a ‘noisy minority’ we know we have a serious problem. Doesn’t he know there’s more people adversely impacted by logging than those who benefit? Doesn’t he know that farming creates more jobs, supports more communities and brings in a greater percentage of GDP than logging? Doesn’t he know that water and food are more important than pulp wood trees?
