The Minister for Resources did not answer the Greens' questions about the escaped Tarkine regeneration burn in Parliament today.
The Greens are strong supporters of the World Enduro Series, and the thriving mountain bike industry in and around Derby.
Minister Barnett is either misleading or in denial over the evidence that more log trucks will lead to an increase in serious accidents and fatalities.
The data confirms that there has been no job growth in Forestry and Wood Product manufacturing in Tasmania under the Hodgman Liberal Government.
In a clear signal they are afraid of Parliamentary scrutiny, the Liberals' gagged debate on their destructive and divisive logging legislation.
The industry has condemned the Government's plan to log forest that was set aside from protection under the Tasmanian Forest Agreement.
The Government has consistently claimed the industry needs access to the 356 000 hectares of high conservation value forest set aside under the TFA.
The growth in Derby visitation has increased by 250 per cent in the past two years.
The draft legislation to allow logging in 356 000 hectares of high conservation value forest is a threat to Tasmania's growing visitor economy and its brand.
