Ingram looks at logging National Parks
At the log truck blockade in Melbourne earlier this year, our independent MP, Craig Ingram, made mention of the vast area of good Alpine Ash locked up in the Snowy National Park and how it could have kept the logging industry afloat a while longer.
More recently he gained front page attention in the local news by suggesting we consider logging parks and reserves to stop fires. This solution is being proffered by the USs logging industry to avoid forest fires (how convenient). Now Craig Ingram reckons we too should look at thinning our protected areas.
