The State Government have granted West Aussies a say on their draft 10-year Forest Management Plan for 2024-2033.

The plan will deliver on the McGowan Government's decision to end native logging in the South-West.

Jenna Clarke, Journalist at The Australian, joined Oliver Peterson on Perth Live and highlighted that as a child of the forest industry, she is conflicted on the matter.

"The fact that the government has put this out for public consultation, when they haven't even consulted with the actual industry... logging, especially in Western Australia is probably one of the most sustainable industries... because trees grow back!"
