MP kicked out of Question Time for accusing Albanese of ‘hating’ timber workers 

Even more serious is energy policy based upon ridiculous and economically destructive popular delusions.

It was Melbourne that re-elected Andrews.

It's the Eshay Centrelink capital of Australia

Ol' greasy albanese.

It's slander without backing. A parliamentarian that merely says it without backing it up with irrefutable evidence is liable to be sued.

We've had a few clowns, I'm not sure he's the worst, but definitely up there.

Say no to homosexuality, promiscuity, tattoos and drugs.

Yep, and he hates all Australian workers, not just forestry workers.

But they still vote for the lying idiot.

Which people? Certainly not the majority his got almost a record approval rating. Stop acting like you speak for the majority. You don't.

@Johan Hurter typical unbalanced argument. Purely emotive fact free bias.

@Johan Hurter take a drive. Talk to locals and then amend your comment and perspective. Facts. Even way back to the Ash Wednesday bushfires 40+ years ago. State forest mismanaged.

@@paddlesmcbean2366 typically negligent and lazy land management practices from people who do not own or live off the land. All care no responsibility is the problem with State and Shire management and regulations. Ask anyone close to past and present large uncontrollable burns.

and the greens don't forget to thank them for all the bushfires too.

@@smartgoku9048 I agree green in name only.

@@raclark2730 watermelons that's what the greens are. Green on the outside red as a commie on the inside...

They already burn..thats why they lock them up so bushfires which get deliberately lit can take hold then we blame climate change and the whole merry go round starts all over again

@@saltyaussie7702 That's them alright.

Yeah he’s quaking in his boots at 55% approval lmao

Albo sleezy Victoria election was rigged you know Victorian know it

@@dickjohnson5623 hey dick, get rid of that crappy ford mate 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Rod Because they are being paid by global entities. Their job is to destroy on orders of foreign entities. They couldn't give a stuff about Australia. All sell outs and bought and paid for

They obviously learned it from Scumbo’s mob.

That didn’t. The magic of preferences.

@@sturod2016 The Sack Dan Andrew's Party was one of many set up by the Labor party too skim preference votes at the last Victorian election. The magic of voter fraud using preferences. Good old preferences keeping the major two in power regardless of who we actually vote for. Do you know Bill Gates owns the Scytl software in our tabulation machine's which is used in the finalising of an election here in Australia? Also the AEC don't know if the tabulation machine's where audited before & after the Federal Election. It's amazing how Federal Labor with only 32.6% of the primary vote, their lowest primary vote in their history. Yet they somehow win the election🤷 I also find it interesting that Bill turned up after Albo won the election & Albo handed him 230m cheque. In fact every election in the last 18-24 month's in Australia has been won by those who push the same narrative & agenda as Bill & Co...

If the voice lets you plant or pay them to let you

300 million is being invested into forestry to start with - keep up or get left behind. Darren really needs to get on board with the 300 million and secure jobs, as EG is hugely affected. There are plenty of skilled forestry workers that can contribute and work towards a more sustainable timber industry. It is a shame Darren is Liberal...even tho they shat on him He will become a rebel without a cause, and probably lose his intergrity Now, he is on the front bench - running with the most corrupted mob of politicians that have robbed and looted Australia.

​@Wild Flower you really believe labor and greens 😂🤣😂😅,the building industry is short on materials, Australia has a housing crisis and labor is closing timber mills while increasing immigration and closing power stations

​@wildflower8425 mate, I'm a third generation sawmiller. The fact is we, as an industry, no longer have the ability to create a product or a viable business model to match supply with demands. Importing hardwood timber using Chinese coal/iron money is not a sustainable business model, and is extremely financially uneconomical. Labor and the greens have locked up the state forests. Farmers can't fence, and builders can't build. But the city leeches keep giving their vote to "feel-good" faux environmental bullshit A lot of damage is already done. Best case scenario, if we change course now the timber industry could be back at 2015 production levels again by about 2068.

The Skynuts are raving and ranting again. It always happens before an election hammering or a Referendum wipe out. Bring on an early Federal Election. 😮😊😂😅

Nobody is or has ever been deforesting Australia. This is laughably far from the truth. At 8.05 million hectares, Victoria's state forests represent about about 7% of all Australian state forests. Of those 8.05 million hectares, only about 3k are harvested annually. This is 0.04% Once harvested, a site is managed for regeneration. The same site won't be harvested again for approx 45 years. Just to be clear, this means the percentage of Australian state forest harvested in Victoria is 0.000028% annually. This practice will cease comoletely on Jan 1st 2024. A full 6 years earlier than the 2030 date Albo claimed during his campaign. When the hardwood timber industry goes belly up, 4000 jobs go with it, and 500 million dollars is removed from the local economy. Also the current timver shortages will become extreme, and cost billions for the building and construction industry. Which makes up 8% of the state economy. But hey, inner city greenies want to feel good about themselves, and will vote for whoever panders to their ignorance.

@@jacksonjdr94 There is little doubt that the public is fed misinformation from both sides of this question. However it is only in more recent years that the problem of logging our native forests has become an issue. Most of the natural timbers so cherished by the early timber industry took hundreds of years to reach maturity. Without concerned members of the public there would be no limits as the early companies showed no interest in conservation. The trees, in 40 years cannot grow to maturity, so they are in a continual state of harvest, and that is not conservation. Humans should learn to exist with the environment and not destroy it. At Wittenoom in West Australia hundreds were employed in the asbestos industry. The Industry was closed to save human life, and this became an immediate imitative even though jobs were lost. Protection of our forests will do the same thing over a longer term. The destruction of our old growth forests, although responsible for many jobs as you say is carried out for the ultimate benefit of a few. Looking after the workers should be a priority.

@oldgolfer7435 @oldgolfer7435 your narrative is all emotion and devoid of any fact. Insinuating I have provided "misinformation" without offering any correction is pretty poor form. The proportion of state forests that is available for harvest has always been relatively minuscule. The vast majority, over 90% has never been harvested. And now they're closing it off completely due to ignorant greenie idealogues who think **any** tree harvested anywhere is one too many. These people have no concept of how large Australia's forests are compared to the relatively small yet vital industry they're actively trying to wipe from existence. I am a third generation sawniller here in Victoria and I know for a fact that environmentalist narratives of unsustainable logging practices suggesting that forests could be ever be depleted are literally pure propaganda with no basis in reality. The stupid thing is, we as a nation have begun importing inferior breeds of hardwood timbers from nations with far less responsible logging practices, and making ourselves complicit in those practices. The most environmentally responsible thing we could possibly do is supply our own countries demand with sustainable logging business models. But the government won't let us, because of ignorant greenie voters.

Well l hate Albanese and l hate Andrews. Strong or not that's a fact.

I hate him even detest the idiot...

A true braindead, irrelevant, oxygen thieving, racist scum ginger fishwife.

There are other materials used to build homes. Look at how many steel structures are around for example.

That the regenerated tree being cut back grows the wood back faster the alternative, a better wood factory the regrowth after being cut back is faster grown wood,once the tree base is established you just cut the straight branches that grow up like suckers straight

I think the native trees can only be prunes there has to be a way to complete the tree life cycle to get the seed to grow an nurture each species, you could take only two thirds the tree

Cutting the tree back to stump for that extra length of wood to fit on the truck is double handling planting an jettisoning the prolific regrowth

Somehow when Japanese get the tree to grow wide so there's maximum surface or the tree then these sucker shoots after pruned back still take time to grow maybe 5 yrs faster that it would of taken ten trees to grow from seed, even more 15 or 20 trees works in the sense of growing sprouts to a saleable length from the one tree that's like a mat of growth

2 steps forward one step back with the trees
