Please accept this email as my Submission to the Review of the Draft Coastal IFOA. Your government has recently announced its intention to drastically weaken the logging rules (Integrated Forestry Operations Approval - IFOA) to remove numerous protections for NSW's threatened species, koalas, oldgrowth & rainforest and waterways. I call upon you to stop proceeding with these draconian changes and: 1. Recognise that the Regional Forest Agreements have failed to deliver environmental protection or industry security. I will be closely monitoring your performance in these areas and taking further action if I do not see an immediate marked improvement in outcomes for our forests.
Yours Sincerely (Replace this with your name Address and telephone number) |
You will probably receive an email from them thanking you for your submission and saying that they want you to fill in their form. We recommend that you tell them that you want nothing to do with their sham process as it is designed to corrupt the outcome with dishonestly framed questions. Tell them that they now have your submission and you expect to see it included in the public record of the process.
