What if --
What if a miracle happened and the Greens were working for proper land management practices in our remote regions?
How would I feel if they were badgering Minister Thwaites to restore fuel reduction burning to 350,000 hectares each year?
What if they were insisting that there were more outdoors staff employed by DSE and PV so that pest plants were destroyed and feral animals no longer a threat to our native wild life?
How would it be if they recognised that, as efficient as plantation forestry is, it still cannot produce commercial logs in sufficient quantity and agreed to a sustainable increase in timber extraction from those 'old growth' forests that didn't exist in 1850 AD? Suppose they said that only plantation timber will be imported into Australia?
Nooo. I'd probably wake up dead before that miracle happened.
