Labor does not support this motion. Labor has led the way in providing legislative protection for old-growth and high conservation value forests in Tasmania and across Australia, including through the creation of new reserves in the area known as the Tarkine. However, Labor are also unequivocal in our support for the sustainable management of our productive native forests and the many communities who rely on the jobs provided in forestry, including in north-west Tasmania.
