This is a comment posted earlier on that rightfully deserves it's place in the primetime.
An East Gippy activist is currently in remand in Orbost police cells pending an appearance before the magistrates court in Bairnsdale tomorrow morning. The forest defender has refused to sign his bail conditions in view of the fact that they prohibit him from entering a vast legion of locations throughout East Gippsland.
Imposing these broad bail conditions on activists has been common practice throughout the East Gippsland forest management area and these unreasonable conditions are invariably deemed superfluous and are generally amended prior to a hearing.
After spending 40 hours tree-sitting in the survey road coup [shown above] this activist is taking todays demonstration to its limits by prolonging his efforts in a bid to draw attention to yet another legal oversight on behalf of the Victorian logging industry.
Good on him!
