Log trucks will stop nation - Brown

The nationwide coverage of the massive log truck line up at Triabunna
yesterday will hasten the end of native forest destruction in Tasmania,
Greens Leader Bob Brown said today.

Congratulating the peaceful forest defenders who protested at Gunns
woodchip mill, Senator Brown said that in terms of wildlife and
Tasmania's natural beauty, the picture represented the axels of evil. 

"This image of stopped log trucks will also stop the nation in its
tracks. 
Beyond wildlife, water purity and intact ecosystems, the trucks
represent thousands of tonnes of greenhouse gas pollution for no better
reason than making wrapping paper in Japan," Senator Brown said.
