“Pictures of a massive, centuries-old tree on the back of a logging truck in Tasmania have sparked calls from environmentalists for Anthony Albanese to visit the area to see damage being inflicted on native forests.”
Always happy when people start talking about these things.
The defense used for logging the tree raises questions. Whose safety was threatened by this tree? Wasn’t it in the middle of a forest?
And the lack of decay is another point.
Considering the tree, judging by the photo, had escaped logging several times (surrounded by smaller regrowth), it is certainly an odd one.
