Over the past few months, members of the Huon Valley Environment Centre have been busy coordinating meetings and building dialogue with various politicians and representatives of relevant organisations, as we work towards protection of the spectacular Lower Weld Valley.
In January, myself and Warrick Jordan travelled to Canberra to meet with then Federal Environment Minister Ian Campbell's staff. We had a
long discussion regarding the Lower Weld Valley and our concerns regarding the construction of a wood fired power station at Southwood in the Huon valley. We were also able to arrange last-minute meetings with staff from both Peter Garrett and Kevin Rudd's offices. We enjoyed an informal discussion, and will continue to follow up on these meetings with information packages and updates.
In February Warrick met with Tasmanian Environment Minister Paula Wreidt to discuss our updated Weld Valley Reserve Proposal and to outline the tourism potential of the area. Also in February, I met with Federal Labor MP Duncan Kerr in Hobart. Duncan was interested to receive our proposal and we look forward to visiting the Weld with Duncan and others in the near future (pending approval from Forestry Tasmania).
Warrick and myself were also able to meet with Tasmanian Liberal Opposition leader Will Hodgeman during a recent visit to Huonville.Whilst he was reluctant to be drawn on the liberals forest policy, Will expressed his interest in keeping updated about the campaign.
A highlight of recent months was a meeting held between various NGOs (including HVEC members) and The Director General of the World Heritage Centre UNESCO, Mr Francisco Bandarin. Despite stalling and secrecy from state and federal governments, we were able to gain a meeting with Mr Bandarin and discuss the issue of threats to the Tasmanian World Heritage Area from logging operations in the Weld Valley and other forest regions.
Regular, ongoing meetings with Forestry Tasmania staff have provided an outlet to discuss harvesting plans and debate differences of opinion. Despite recent claims of an 'olive branch' offered to peaceful protesters in the Weld and Florentine Valleys, the HVEC has not received any communication from Bob Gordon or Forestry regarding a suggested meeting. Watch this space.
Finally, Premier Paul Lennon's office has responded to our request for a meeting by saying that he won't be able to meet with us. Well, don't
say we didn't try.
While in-forest protests and direct action receive media coverage this "behind the scenes work" is also central to the HVEC's ongoing campaign to protect precious places like the Lower Weld Valley.

Currently Forestry Tasmania are undertaking a strategic assault on the Weld Valley that is smashing ancient forests. Since January Forestry Tasmania are taking an unprecedented and relentless attack on two areas of old growth forest.
One the southern side of the Weld River, near Glovers Bluff a 118 hectare coupe is being started, with 55 hectares being cable logged. On the opposite side of the river an area in the Eddy creek and Barnback Catchment are being logged. Behind where the Weld Ark stood, along the new road that was built, an area is being logged at an alarming rate.
At one stage when forest defenders were in the Barnback area that was being logged, nine machines were working. The contractors in this area were taken out of a Lune River coupe before it was finished. The forest defenders have witnessed the pressure these contractors have from Forestry Tasmania.
However when interviewed by the Mercury's Sue Neales, these same contractors complained that the protesters were the pressure on them.
Plainly Forestry Tasmania have undertaken an assault on these contentious areas all at once. The sad reason that there is not a third area being logged, namely the World Heritage bordering WR15F, is because the contractor set to start in this area was killed in the Southern Forests recently whilst working.
February 15th saw eight protesters in the magistrates court in the morning and then a few of us were summonsed to the Supreme Court for
the afternoon. Boy what a day, Adam Burling and myself had a private investigator turn up on our driveway at 8am in the morning.
The morning magistrates court proceedings saw all but one of us get good behaviour bonds, the other person is still pursuing their case. The afternoons Supreme court proceedings saw Forestry Tasmania's lawyers withdraw their application for an eleventh hour injunction when their evidence was judged inadmissible. The walk-in went ahead and 50 people walked in 30 degree heat to bear witness to the destruction in the area being logged behind the Weld Ark camp (read more in Adam Burling's article Forests, blogs & writs...). If it wasn't for the help of a group of fantastic lawyers, this day would have been unbearable. That morning our lawyer Cassandra Gregg worked for us, who provides us with enormous support. For the injunction hearing, Roland Browne and Peter Tree SC were amazing.
Also During February a series of peaceful protests were held in the Weld Valley with three people being arrested in the frontline defenceof the ancient wilderness area of the Barnback.
In the end of February my car was run off the road by a log truck carting fallen trees from the nearby wilderness forests of the Weld Valley. A b-double log truck driver swerved at my car whilst I was traveling along a forestry road with my four-year-old daughter. Police have been notified regarding the incident. This violent incident has been one of a series of threats and attacks against forest defenders in the Southern Forests of Tasmania. Peaceful protesters have had machinery driven at them, been assaulted by loggers and have threats of sexual violence aimed at them. In one instance in the searing heat a protester had stink bombs thrown in his lap and honey poured on him to attract march flies whilst he was locked on to machinery for seven hours. Many of these incidence have been captured on film. A film is currently being worked on to put a spotlight on the treatment of peaceful forest defenders.
Despite claims by the industry as to injury caused to contractors and police in the Weld Valley, they are completely false and based in distraction tactics. Any argument about safety and the lack of adherence to safety on the part of activists whilst in the forests are baseless and fail to give the truth that the forest defenders are skilled, intelligent people who have put study and careers on hold for defending the ancient forests. These ancient forests that Tasmania is loosing at a rapid rate.
In the first week of March a Weld Valley activist was arrested late on a Sunday afternoon and remanded in police custody for allegedly trespassing in Tasmania's Southern Forests. Warrick Jordan was held in police custody for appearance in court later in the night. This is the first of 'Walk In' related charges after a February community action was held, despite attempts by Forestry Tasmania to stop it, and a failed Supreme Court injunction. This Sunday afternoon arrest and gaoling of a forest defender, confirms the heavy handedness of Forestry Tasmania against non-violent protesters A week ago Forestry Tasmania supposedly offered an 'olive branch' to conservationists. Fat Chance!
Huon Valley Environment Centre never did hear from Bob Gordon in relation to his Olive Branch. They seem to know when to find us with an injunction though not when they supposedly want to talk.
In Feb/March it was found that Forestry Tasmania had also started preliminary logging operations and surveying of the Barnback Extension road, which leads from the Denison Valley. This Barnback Extension road proposes to open new remote forest on the flanks of the Snowy Range and log an area that is bordering the World Heritage Area. This Barnback Extension road is also the development of potentially the North Weld road, a total of seven kilometers of new roading.
During one of the first weeks in March community forest occupation has been successfully halting logging operations, in the Denison Valley, people have held a week long peaceful vigil. This area is vital habitat for the Little Denison Crayfish endemic to the Denison Valley and Barnback region. An exclusion zone was placed on the Denison Valley during this protest. This is third exclusion zone in the past few months to be put in place in Tasmania's Southern Forests preventing the public and media from visiting the ancient wilderness valleys of the Weld, Denison and Upper Florentine. A tree sit attached to the gate on the main access road to the Denison Valley, halted logging for the week.
Ongoing devastation of World Heritage Values occurs at an accelerated rate in the Weld Valley for woodchips, wilderness areas are being cable logged and endangered species habitat is disappearing. The Lennon state government is pressuring forest contractors into contentious areas like the Weld Valley and allowing conflict in the forest to continue. They are ignoring the advice of numerous experts, the Federal Court and the wishes of the Tasmanian people by proceeding with this illegal and unsustainable logging.
You can help us by joining our campaign, come along to our events and support the protection of Tasmania's wild ancient forests.

Response to letter in Huon News on use of SES in forest actions:
The SES perform a vital and much respected service to the community, yet their resources are being deployed on a political basis by the Labor state government to silence the debate over the destruction of our ancient forests. Forest defenders operate to a non-violent code which respects everyone's safety. They are there not out of any financial gain for personal benefit but for all us in this community and for those who are yet to come. If the state Labor government were to acknowledge expert bodies such as the World Heritage Bureau, who have called for the lower Weld Valley to be protected, than there would be no conflict. The protests can end, it is simple. Protect high conservation value and old growth forests.








An unprecedented attack on free speech and democracy in Australia was launched in February 2007 by Tasmania's logging agency, Forestry
Tasmania. This state owned entity attempted to use an underhanded tactic of serving legal injunctions on several individuals to silence
legitimate criticism and non-violent protests towards its operations in the ancient forests of the Weld Valley. Perhaps the new Forestry boss had taken lessons from Gunns Ltd and its multi-million dollar lawsuit against 20 conservationists. One group is common to both writs, is the Huon Valley Environment Centre and its campaign to defend Tasmania's native forests.
The injunction was also served at the end of a week wherein accelerated destruction of old growth forest had commenced in the Lower Weld Valley. Wilderness forests of the Weld Valley is one of many threatened valleys, in the great Southern Forests which run along the edge of the eastern boundary of Tasmania's World Heritage listed South West national park. The wild Weld river flows through a landscape that has not changed much since the original Tasmanians sheltered in its ice age caves and feasted on the mega fauna that once lived here.
Some 20% of the Weld Valley is threatened by logging, mainly for woodchips destined for paper and cardboard products in Japan. The rest is protected in a national park. The lower Weld Valley has been recognized as having World Heritage quality, by local groups such as the Tasmanian government's own Parks and Wildlife Service and international bodies including the IUCN. It is the unique beauty and wildness of this valley that drives so many brave people to defend it awe inspiring forests.
The Huon Valley Environment Centre is a small community group based in the town of Huonville in Southern Tasmania. The Centre has been running a campaign to defend the ancient forests of the Huon region, and in particular the Weld Valley, for the past five years. It is through this work of lobbying, community education and non-violent protests that this centre has come to the attention of the logging industry and the state Labor government.
On Nov 15th 2006 a year long blockade at Camp Weld, whose centre piece was a life size sculpture of a pirate ship, was smashed by 60 police. This heralded a new assault on the Weld Valley. For the following weeks over 25 people were arrested. The non-violent direct action continued while a road was driven into the wilderness. As the new logging onslaught has begun in February the protests continued as another 4 forest defenders were arrested. These heroes faced threats of violence and sexual assault by logging contractors and whose safety was continually compromised while Forestry Tasmania employees looked on.
Just after 8am on Friday 16th February, a private investigator delivered a new attack on forest defenders in the hills of the Huon Valley, it was an injunction and writ aimed to halt the Weld Valley campaign. Forestry Tasmania had proceeded with legal action in the Supreme Court of Tasmania against a community organization, some of its committee members and an internet activist. The aim was twofold, to force the Centre to halt a planned walk-in on the coming Sunday and then to completely halt all support for any type of non-violent protests in the Weld Valley.
The writ targeted the Centre in part because of the 'Walk in' it had advertised. This was the fourth such event in the past couple of months, allowing the wider community to bear witness to destruction of the Weld Valley ancient forests. These events were text book non-violent protests. A diverse range of people would defy the archaic laws that prevent them from entering their own forests and walk in solidarity with other forest defenders who had kept the loggers at bay for the last two years.
In court it was said that the term "Walk-in' was actually a technical term in Forestry talk and apparently meant not only walking but also was 'likely to involve…locking onto machinery or trees, conducting tree-sits, or otherwise interfering with the conduct of forest operations'. There was some mirth in the court as Forestry's lawyers tried to explain that this subversive term was concealing the real conspiracy of harming their government corporation. The bright, dedicated and representative collection of people  participated in these marches was demonized as people who were somehow hell bent on the economic downfall of the whole timber industry.
Forestry Tasmania were to seek an injunction restraining the Centre, its 'officers, servants, agents or members from organizing, promoting, advertising or providing material support to activities involving the entry by persons into the area of State forest at the Weld Valley.'
The definition of material support was extended to include:
* use or provision of equipment
* the provision of food or drinks
* the provision of medical supplies
* the use or provision of motor vehicles
* the provision of assistance
* the use of land or premises
* the use of photocopying, facsimile, email, mail and internet facilities
* the use or provision of any property including signs, flags banners
Forestry also demanded that all SMS, email and files associated with the Weld Campaign be delivered to them within 7 days. That potentially meant all the mobile phones, computers (work and personal) and the complete hard copy filing system.
In court Forestry Tasmania argued that these peaceful protestors were a serious enough threat to their activities that exclusions zone laws, general police powers over trespass and obstruction, as well as the ability to deputise any Forestry officer to arrest people, were not considered enough. Eight people had earlier that day attended magistrate's court on a variety of criminal charges leveled at them for non-violently defending the Weld Valley ancient forests from the chainsaws and bulldozers. They all left with good behaviour bonds and no convictions.
Later the same day at the Supreme Court, the only real evidence presented by Forestry Tasmania was volumes of website material taken from the Centre's website, Tasmedia.org news site, Engagemedia.org film site and an independent blog called Save the Weld. It was presented on badly saved CD which had a raft of internet pages download onto it. The now regular giggles at Forestry's expense continued as part of the material included in the evidence was read out from the blog, it talked about a "wkd sunrise and noisy penguins in bicheno, had a pretty effin frustrating middle dealing with a bungling judiciary in Hobart". It seemed as though Forestry were collecting anything at all on the web associated with the Weld Valley, in a big brother style sweep.
Forestry Tasmania were trying to stop anything even remotely associated with the campaign to bring attention to the Weld Valley, and the Centre in particular from exercising their democratic right to protest against the onslaught of forest destruction which was launched onto the weld forests. Breaking the law here was irrelevant, surely as part of a modern democratic society, breaking seemingly unjust laws is an acceptable part of community dialogue on social issues such as the logging of old growth trees. If the legal action was successful, activists faced contempt of court proceedings (which can include gaol) if they enter the Weld Valley or even provided so much as a band-aid to those who walked into these supposedly public forests.
The exclusion zones protect the State Labor Government and hide the devastation from being shown to the public, they prohibit media, the
local community and in one case even helicopters above the area from seeing what is going on. Forestry claims that exclusion zones are in place for safety reasons, but with over 30km buffer it is more about keeping the logging safe from scrutiny than anything else.
For a government agency to take on a case that potentially could have run into the tens of thousands of dollars against a small community organization and a number of conservationists, is surely stepping outside the role of a "manager" of the public's forests. Taking politically motivated legal action against Tasmanians is abhorrent. It's success would have contributed to the silencing of non-violent dissent against the increasingly unpopular Tasmanian forest industry.
The case was withdrawn by Forestry Tasmania during the hearing, after evidence was found to be inadmissible. Activists waited another week to hear if Forestry Tasmania was going to persue the injunction. Thankfully it did not. Forestry Tasmania was ordered to pay costs of around $7000 as well as their own. At taxpayers expense this was a futile attempt to put the clamps on forest defenders.

Governments — governments of all stripes — have an abiding contempt for environment groups and environmental activists. Governments hate deeply and skilfully, but environmental groups sit, permanently unchallenged, at the top of their hierarchies of bile.
Environmental activists tell inconvenient truths. They threaten the cosy power monopoly that vested interests wield through their control over the personnel and processes of government. It is the lot of environmental activists to be demonised by governments, pilloried as nutters and fanatics who refuse to take the umpire's decision — that umpire being the electoral mandate governments claim. In effect, their detractors claim, environmentalists set themselves against democratic process.
It is on this matter — how to judge the actions of environmental groups against the imperatives of democracy — that I want to pass a few sketchy observations today. The democratic condition is in a parlous state all over the world. It has been reduced to the arid notion of regular elections between two bland and homogenised political parties that offer no greater order of choice than do two soap powder brands on the supermarket shelf. It is George Bush's stated mission to export democracy to the world — but what he means by 'democracy' is a political system in which voters get to regularly (though not frequently) choose between an oil baron and a defence contracts millionaire — verily, Tweedledum or Tweedledee. It is tinsel democracy — all bells and whistles. Its linguistic currency is the portentously-rendered cliché. It is democracy's hollow shell.
And then there's the electorate, the great and wise voting public. Would that it were so — but we voters have, instead, been reduced to pitiful bundles of electoral neuroses, our larger sensibilities so benumbed by a vague fear that the good times might suddenly end that we abandon conscience and principle at the polling booth door. We do this, too, because most of the business of government is too technically complex to be adequately understood and analysed within the begrudged snippets of time that are all that most of us are willing to accord any issue — and this applies to politicians almost as much as it does to voters. Thus it is that, by default, the seat of decision-making slips from view, because it slips out of the formal political system and into remote, invisible sites of power — economic power, technological power, the power that comes through possession of crucial but arcane knowledge.
And so we are left with the empty shell of democracy. The barren, meaningless structures of democratic ritual. There is a solution to this. It consists in the reinvigoration of what is often called the public sphere. It consists in civil society reclaiming politics from formal structures and the shadowy sites of power that formal structures screen and protect. Because democracy is not primarily about institutions and formal mechanisms — regular elections, for example. Democracy is rather a condition; a characteristic, a quality that determines how information is made available and made sense of, how discourse proceeds, and how conflict is mediated. It is about real people having a real and meaningful input into the decisions that they must subsequently abide by.
There is a wonderful, passionate little book by the marvellous Mormon writer, Terry Tempest Williams. It is called The Open Space of Democracy, and in it she writes: "if we cannot begin to embrace democracy as a way of life; the right to think, discuss, create and act — if we fail to see the necessity for each of us to participate in the formation of an ethical life — if we cannot bring a sense of equity and respect into our homes and governments, then democracy simply becomes a form of idolatry." A vision of democracy as 'a way of life'. One in which the manifold processes by which public opinion is formed are acknowledged to be as important as the subsequent enactment of the public's collective opinion. And hers is, too, a vision of democracy that mandates ethically-imbued rather than merely selfish public activity — when we vote, for instance. In such a vision power does not squirrell into the dark corners where money talks its sinister talk. In such a vision the government's puppetmasters — I am thinking specifically of Tasmania now — can no longer so manipulate their tame creatures that the forests that cradle the island's very soul continue to be trashed even though survey after survey confirms that 70-80% of voters want to see an end to the destruction of the clearfells, though lacking the requisite courage of their convictions, most of them, to vote accordingly.
As democracy retreats, becoming merely conventional and ritualistic, aridly formal and institutional, the last and best hope for the recovery of democratic vitality lodges in the activities of environmental groups. More than any other active presence within the contemporary political mix, environment groups can reclaim control of the terms under which life is lived for civil society and from the captains of industry and their lickspittles in government. They, more than any other force within public life, insist that we are citizens first and foremost, not mere market-reactive consumers — that, prior to the realisation of individual consumer satisfactions comes the duties of commonality; of fellow-regard; of the responsibilities attendant upon membership of a community.
A community is, of course, usually understood as a human community, one of reciprocal and other-regarding relationships among people brought together by the contingencies of geography. But the ambient ecological context within which our lives nest and by which they are shaped also constitutes a larger community of life. Almost uniquely aware of this, environmental activists envision and work toward the creation of an ecological citizenship, insisting that sustainable forms of living are possible — socially, politically, economically and environmentally. And they insist upon the value of the old, strong notion of democracy — the right to have a real, not a merely conventional say in determining the terms under which life is lived. They insist upon the right to be active — not passively acquiescent political cyphers. They contest — they deny the legitimacy of — deals behind closed doors; and they contest the intrusion of technologies that are merely imposed upon us rather than determined by us. Clearfell technologies, say. Those passive, timid, easily-spooked, but well-meaning folk — 70+% of them — who want old-growth forest clearance stopped but can't bring themselves to vote accordingly, should applaud the democratic courage of environmental activists, and their defence of the crucial participant requirement for citizenship.
And so I come, you'll be pleased to hear, to my final point. The activism — the democratic citizenship — of those involved in environmental groups, is 'grounded'. It is situated within particular places and communities, and it arises from a heightened sense of, and a profound commitment to, place. Place — one's home range — is the bedrock locus of democratic activity. It is the realm of direct personal experience. The geographical compass from which we take our primary sense of who we are.
The first duty of the democratic citizen is to defend her place. To defend it, for example, against the life- and place-destructive technologies ordered without your leave into your home valleys and foothills by men with maps and computer simulations, and claiming the fake authority of democratic ritual, as opposed to the real authority of democratically-lived citizenship, and membership of place and its living communities.
I'm going to close with Williams again. Everyone should read her book — it is engaged and it is wise — and it is small, and it is a page-turner. On pages 86-87 she writes:

We have made the mistake of confusing democracy with capitalism and have mistaken political engagement with a political machinery we all
understand to be corrupt. It is time to resist the simplistic, utilitarian view that what is good for business is good for humanity in all its complex web of relationships … A spiritual democracy is inspired by our own sense of what we can accomplish together, honouring an integrated society where the social, intellectual, physical and economic well-being of all is considered, not just the wealth and health of the corporate few.

And so say I. And so, though you may not have thought it through in these terms, say all you activists who endure calumny and hatred to agitate for the integrity of life on earth. And it is not only the living skein of the island that is crucially dependent upon your endeavours — it is also the freedom of living a real, not a merely conventional, democratic life; a life of self-actualised citizens, not the stimulus-response zombies of market consumerism. The groups that have come together to form Environment Tasmania are, quite simply, the most significant components in Tasmania's political landscape.
They — you — are to be celebrated. Keep going. All power to your strong, activist, democratic arm.

It seems that the CSIRO's predictions for global warming in Australia are already clearly showing. Here in Tassie we have certainly experienced drier winter and spring seasons and a wetter summer, nearly seeming to result in a mini monsoonal season. Increased extremes in temperature have already had a big impact on Tasmania, with the particularly cold winter helping to make the ozone layer hole bigger and deeper than it has ever been before. The Tasmanian sun stings, but anyone sitting out in the sun this year will have noticed the increased intensity of the sun as it beams through our damaged atmosphere.
I have been enjoying the number of spectacular lightening and thunder storms we've been having this summer, a rare treat in Tasmania usually. But my enthusiasm waned when two bushfires, started by lightening, were recently burning their way over the hills towards our home. Dramatic weather may be awe-inspiring, but the previously mild Tasmanian weather has made for a much more liveable environment than what we potentially have to look forward to in the future. Now that the El Nino weather pattern seems to have passed (that which has been partly causing the massive drought in Australia) we are set to move into El Nina, which means more rain and storms.
In Huonville recently I sighted a Grey Goshawk flying around the wasteland out the back of the environment centre, being chased by little birds. It was the closest I have ever been to a Grey Goshawk, and it's majesty blew me away. So much so that I decided to finally join up to Birds Australia. When you join up to Birds Australia you also join up to your regional group (Birds Tasmania) and can become involved in bird survey / data projects for national and local research. A particularly fantastic project run by Birds Australia is the Australian Birds Atlas project. Bird observation data is submitted by Atlassers all over the country, resulting in an invaluable amount of information on bird numbers, which is crucial to the protection of their habitat. Birds Australia membership is very worthwhile, with newsletters and magazines from both the national and local groups, as well as opportunities to be involved in research and field trips. It is a crucial form of conservation research and a powerful place to come from when arguing for protection of habitat. Check out www.birdsaustralia.com.au for more information.
