Workers at the Maryvale Paper Mill on Morwell’s fringe fear for their jobs in the lead up to Christmas as increasing restrictions on VicForests’ operations causes supply shortages.  This month the Supreme Court ordered stricter rules after it found the government agency failed to adequately protect the yellow-bellied glider and the endangered greater glider.  As timber industry workers and contractors protested on Friday, eucalypt branches, hard hats and reams of paper were placed on a coffin, symbolising the death of the timber industry.  The paper mill relies on a mixture of pine and hardwoods to manufacture paper, but needs hardwood to make white paper.  Opal Australia owns and runs the mill and said while no decisions on jobs had yet been made, they may be necessary.
