Logging to resume in bushfire-affected forests on NSW south coast despite environmental warning

The independent state MLC, Justin Field, has called the decision “a gross act of bad faith by Forestry Corporation and John Barilaro as forestry minister”. Both the EPA and Forestry Corporation had been negotiating an updated set of environmental conditions which were meant to manage the long-term risks of logging in fire-affected forests.
