A former New South Wales Labor environment minister has called on the government to halt imminent logging in a forest on the state’s south coast, after citizen scientists recorded 102 trees that they say are home to endangered greater gliders.
Bob Debus, who served as environment minister in the Carr and Iemma governments, also accused the NSW Forestry Corporation (NSWFC) of being found in breach of its own regulations so frequently that the “practice is essentially part of its business model”.
