AUSTRALIA — The Improved Native Forest Management method will not face its Senate vote this week, with the disallowance motion listed for debate on Tuesday now rescheduled for 15 September. That is according to the office of NSW Nationals Senator Ross Cadell, which linked to the release the senator issued when he lodged the motion against the method on 30 June. …“If these rules are not overturned, Australia’s native timber industry will be lost forever,” Cadell said. “This is a crucial industry that we must protect,” Nationals leader Matt Canavan said, putting direct employment across Australian forestry at 80,000 people. …Signed by Assistant Minister for Climate Change and Energy Josh Wilson on 25 June, the method lets a state government earn Australian Carbon Credit Units by permanently ending harvesting in public native forests. New South Wales intends to register the Great Koala National Park, drawing 176,000 hectares of state forest into a single reserve.
