Do What I Say, Not What I Do

Hypocrisy...

This cartoon is a section of a notice that the Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) have placed all along the Bibbulmun track. It very properly informs people entering our State Forests, how to be environmentally responsible.

The photo below shows us how CALM themselves treat our forests. The hypocrisy is extraordinary. It is to be noted that the Bibbulmun track is designed to carefully avoid CALM's handiwork.

   
The Labor Government in Western Australia supports this kind of ancient forest destruction. Labor intends to allow clearfelling to continue till the end of 2003 when it is anticipated that there will be no more ancient forest economically worth clearing other than the small areas protected in Nation Parks. Federal Minister for Conservation Wilson Tuckey has stated that he believes all old growth forests should be clearfelled.
