Flozza Bust Footage Monday 4th May

60 Police have raided camp Florentine this morning to remove road blockades so that logging of the contentious area can begin. An Exclusion Zone has been declared by Forestry Tasmania, to prevent public access to the area. A Hobart man has already been arrested for being in the exclusion zone. More arrests are expected today.




Three conservationists are positioned 50 m up tree platforms blocking the access road and log landing.

Two conservationists are chained to vehicles cemented into the road. Another is occupying a tunnel that has been dug under the road preventing access to the old growth logging area.

i feel the risk the contractor who drives over the tunnel run's is pretty goddam minimal compared to the individual faced being crushed to death for the sake a few jobs that could be easily relocated into plantation. how brave the mighty forestry employees are, what grave risks they run. my deepest sympathies.

I'm sick of these whale huggin pot-heads. They try and lock up our forests to save stuffs that we don't need. Theys should be locked up! Who cares about parrots, beetles and ugly devils wiv big puss-sores on their heads? Take a shower, get a job and leaves us alone. You are stoppin hard workin peoples from makin a livin, keepin a food over our heads and roof on our tables.
