Legal group pans flora and fauna law

A law introduced 14 years ago to protect Victoria's plants and animals has
been a failure, according to a review by a legal lobby group.
The review of the history of the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act by Lawyers
for Forests found the legislation was unenforceable and rarely used.
The act requires action plans for its listed species, communities and
threatening processes. But less than a quarter of these have been
completed. It also provides for interim orders to protect critical
habitats, but the review found none had been made.
The Lawyers for Forests review found there was an apparent lack of
political will to use the law and little scope for the public to use it to
save species. The Department of Natural Resources and Environment did not
have the resources to monitor threatened species listed under the act, the
review found.
"While the FFG Act contains a number of useful procedures and instruments,
it lacks substance and mandatory obligations," it concluded.
In its analysis, Lawyers for Forests focused on four of the state's
threatened species or communities: cool-temperate rainforest in the Otway
Ranges and East Gippsland, tiger quolls, Leadbeater's possum and the
powerful owl.
It found it was difficult to protect these species from the effects of
logging because it was effectively exempt from the act.
The lawyers said the defects in the law meant there was "excessive risk" of
endangered species becoming extinct, confusion in the community and
confrontation between loggers and conservationists.
Liar caught lying...
Logging continued in the Wombat State Forest during the election campaign,
contrary to a State Government directive.
In late October, the government ordered a one-month logging ban in the
politically sensitive forest, which neighbours several marginal seats.
But yesterday, when protesters locked themselves to a logging truck, the
government discovered loggers had been in the forest throughout November.
Logging contractor Alan Thow said his team had been in the forest "the
whole time". "We have been working the whole election campaign," he said.
"The department decided to let us finish our coupe off."
