April 2018 Western Australian Forests Alliance and others protest exclusion from preparation of a Forestry Industry Development Plan despite election promise

A plan that was supposed to set out the future of the foresty industry via an independent process involving all stakeholders is being lead by the Forest Products Commission (FPC), i.e. the logging industry. The 5 member review panel involves the chair of FPC and a CEO of a company that buys karri logs for woodchipping. Environment groups have been expressly excluded.
