Today's Video Focus: Timber workers say they are worried about the impact the planned
shutdown of Victoria's native logging industry will have on regional
communities and the state's ability to fight bushfires. The Government
is "stepping down" the industry because it says the sustainable supply
of native timber is running out due to over-logging, bushfire damage and
native species protection. There are warnings from some within the
sector and from environment groups that there is not even enough timber
to last until 2024.
