Dickson must clarify logging plans

When quizzed by the Opposition in Parliament, Minister Steve Dickson failed to rule out logging in national parks. The Minister gave a heavily qualified response to an Opposition question, claiming the Newman Government would not allow logging in ‘pristine’ national parks. He needs to declare exactly what he means by ‘pristine’ and to detail all the national parks or parts of national parks that fall into that category. It is still no clearer what national parks are to be opened to logging and which, if any, are off limits. Instead of making wild and false claims about being part of the state’s ‘greenest’ government, Mr Dickson needs to start providing the facts. Until he does we can only assume that no national park is safe under the LNP.
