Bob Brown slams PM for 'a breach of honour'

Post by Neferti » Sun Jan 15, 2012 9:12 am

RELATIONS between the Gillard government and the Greens have soured further, with Bob Brown accusing Julia Gillard of acting dishonourably in allowing logging in 2000ha of Tasmania's native forests.

Senator Brown, who earlier in the week suspended his regular meetings with the Prime Minister over the issue, yesterday accused her of a "breach of honour" in reneging on a deal to protect 430,000ha of forests.

Instead, a federal conservation agreement announced yesterday provides interim protection for 428,050ha - that is, 1950ha less than promised by the state and federal governments in their historic forest deal last year.
