British MP bats for trees
Conservative British MP Norman Baker, has sent a message to the Bracks Government, hand delivering 2000 postcards from forest supporters. The postcards call on the Premier to stop logging in Victoria’s old growth forests. Mr Baker, the Liberal Democrats environment spokesman, visited Australia in late February to tour Tasmania and Victorian forests. His previous anti-logging campaigns include a motion in the British Parliament in 2004 calling for the protection of Tasmania’s world-class forests.
