AUSTRALIA — With no clear commitments, the gap between community expectations and actions of state MPs will be a major election flashpoint.  In early January, activist Susie Russell was arrested on a road that runs through the Bulga State Forest on the New South Wales mid-north coast.  She and about 30 protesters – NSW Greens upper house MP Sue Higginson among them – were there to support a young local woman who was sitting atop a tripod used to block trucks and logging crews from entering the forest.  …“When Forestry Corp started logging the Bulga State Forest in December, it was pretty much the last straw for our community,” she says.  …“We agreed we would do whatever we could do to save the forest,” she says.   “But it’s not just about our patch. It’s about the wider management of forests and what they’re managed for.”
