New polling commissioned by the Wilderness Society shows the majority of Tasmanians are concerned about the environment and support an end to native forest logging. It should be a wake up call for the Liberal Government and stimulate real action to protect the environment.
The DemosAU poll shows 88% of Tasmanians are concerned about the environment. 57% of respondents supported an end to native forest logging, while only 12% show any support at all.
46% of people saw the Liberals’ performance on the environment as poor or terrible, while 38% expressed disappointment in Labor. The Greens have always known just how deeply Tasmanians care about the environment, and these results only confirm that.
We’re in a biodiversity and climate crisis, and the major parties aren’t doing enough to protect the Tasmanian environment. It’s clear they’re not living up to Tasmanians’ expectations.
It’s time the Liberals and Labor stopped putting their mates in destructive industries before the Tasmanian environment. We must protect the environment, and end native forest logging.
