http://www.getup.org.au Using taxpayer money to subsidise the burning of native forests - sounds crazy, right? Yet Independent MP Rob Oakeshott has introduced this provision into the government's renewable energy package, because he thinks it will simply help small operators make use of waste they're creating anyway. Problem is, what it really does is create a new market case for logging native forests and then burning the waste, which experts believe will go far beyond a few small operators and re-ignite the 'forest wars' nationwide between old-growth and plantation timber. Logging industry lobbyists have gone into overdrive trying to influence Independent MPs. They need to hear from you - watch the video and sign the petition now at http://www.getup.org.au
