Tasmanian forestry contractors attack protestors

Strong language warning!

This is not my footage - original video can be found here: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=4500...

This film shows a protestor's car being smashed with a sledgehammer by forestry contractors in Tasmania's Upper Florentine Valley. Forestry Tasmania last night said it had asked police to investigate the video footage.

My godfather what a unit he should have a degree or doctorate with all those tickets,OH and a 7pound hytest,i wouldnt say he has chopped in the ring Ouch but with what he tell us he must have been playin in the ring with someone.does he know what a madill is and what was used before them to move logs around.CHARADE is a person who pretends,i have only read facts fron austscout and $1000 a day fiction from the unit with a 7pound imagination.

[austscout]

I think the big companies have enough plantations for paper and old growth should not be touched,saying that there should be contracts released to responssible people to take selected trees that are suitable for building,furnature,scraps to be pulped,sawdust to be compressed.with the paper thing,gunns and the like can buy hemp off the farmer.All up we get employment in forestry and farming and if your an idiot your out of the bush.

[imallwoman]

A 48 year old with a weird personality,i bet the older bushmen who read all that [greenstelllies]this idiot has to say would be rolling on the floor laughing.Now hes an employer ?? can he count.i wish he would leave me a personal message where we could meet in the bush so i could see how brave he is,but NO he will just make a comment to make loggers look stupid once again.can you believe this idiot he doesnt even work.

[austscout]

hang on everyone the 48 year old who employes in brackets [people]and kicks heads in- is also a champion chopper.wonder where he bought his ticket from to use an axe.his mouth could go through a block quicker than his tomahawk thingo thay gave him at kinda.
