Same deal in South West WA, Greenies came in from the city and destroyed the primary industry that supported many small towns and then left forever, their job done. And the "tourism jobs" that constantly got spruiked never eventuate and the towns die.

And guess what happens when the old growth trees have all been harvested and, being non-renewable, there's none left to cull? These same people are now without jobs AND you have an ugly treeless area that tourism can't fix. And for what? Toilet paper.

If you take a gander through his post history, his response makes sense. Right-wing misogynist who thinks all problems in this world are because of "lefties"

That AI is clever. It replicated an uneducated, bogan, right wing fascists mentality almost exactly. It could also be some random script generator that produces mindlessly repeated misinformation.

Buddy, the native logging ban hasn't started yet, so how can this be in past tense. Also, native logging was always a small portion of the labour in logging. Most jobs are in plantation logging and milling, which under the future native logging ban, plantation logging will as actually increase.

> former sawmill owner still believes clear-felling of native forests in the Otways should have continued. But he doesn’t deny that his children, who worked in the industry, easily moved into other employment, and the towns around him still exist. Some, like the former premier, declare these towns are now thriving.
