Witness to Tasmania’s Styx Forest Holocaust

Sunday, October 2nd, 2011

Just back from a visit to Tasmania’s majestic world heritage Styx Valley, the editor is shocked at the indiscriminate forest ecocide by Forestry Tasmania ~ a Martin Bryant on the loose slaughtering Tasmania’s irreplaceable ancient forest heritage.

Tasmania’s ancient Styx Forest ~ ancient Myrtles, Celery Top Pines, Blackwoods, Regnans, Sassafras and the wildlife habitat they support…being irreversibly clear-felled and incinerated hectare by hectare by Lara Giddings’ ‘Forestry Tasmania’

Forestry Tasmania ~ the mind of a ‘forestpath’:

 
 
Martin Bryant ~ the 1996 mass murderer of Tasmania

Like this mentally disturbed misfit, who as a child cut down trees on a neighbour’s property and received an air rifle for his 14th birthday; Forestry Tasmania, has been reared by successive Tasmanian governments creating a subsidised cushion around it that throughout its existence  has  protected it from reality ~ economic reality, social reality , ecological reality.

Tasmanian Government artificial cushions have acted as constraints that impeded or at least diffused, and gave an outlet for, its most obsessive tendencies ~ clearfell and bush arson. ‘Left to its own mounting frustrations, angers, resentment of rejection and social misunderstanding’.  Forestry Tasmania’s current clear-felling rampage ranks among the deadliest for Tasmanian old growth forests in the 21st Century.

Forestry Tool of the Trade:

 
A Doosan Harvester
–  a Japanese company, supplying equipment to more efficiently destroy Tasmanian old growth for woodchips back to Japan, or more so China nowadays.
Forestry is stihl about jobs? ~ pull the other one.
 
 
‘The Doosan Credo focuses on our responsibilities to people, business and society.
