It is not without its challenges – it is renewable; it is a sustainable resource based industry that employs thousands of Tasmanians, and it’s an industry that we should continue to develop and invest in. Tasmania has a world class forestry industry operating in a small State which has over 1,000,000 hectares of our forests reserved. In spite of industry challenges, forestry is fundamentally a world-class industry that sustainably manages our precious forests, directly employs thousands of Tasmanians and indirectly employs many thousands more. We must also never forget that Tasmania has the highest percentage of its landmass in permanently protected reserves of any jurisdiction anywhere in the world. The forestry industry is an industry that we can all rightly be proud of, and we will be doing all that we can to make sure that it emerges once again as a stronger, sustainable driving force behind our economy. http://www.renehiddingmp.com/whats-hot/2010/03/supporting_sustainable_forestr.php http://www.renehiddingmp.com/whats-hot/2010/03/supporting_sustainable_forestr.php Fri, 12 Mar 2010 09:23:33 +1000 We will also commit to examining the current regulatory settings to ensure the system is based on good science and adequately protects human health, the environment and the users of these chemicals. http://www.renehiddingmp.com/whats-hot/2010/03/improving_pesticide_and_chemic.php http://www.renehiddingmp.com/whats-hot/2010/03/improving_pesticide_and_chemic.php Fri, 05 Mar 2010 13:13:53 +1000 The Midland Highway and Bass Highway form part of the National Highway Network and are the major freight and passenger route in Tasmania. Between 2001 and 2005 almost 40% of all Tasmanian crashes occurred on the National Highway (Bass and Midland Highways). Over the past 5 years, the Tasmanian Corridor Strategy has found that Tasmanian container freight has grown by 10.5% a year, but even with a more conservative 6% a year growth, Tasmania would experience a doubling of container freight in 10 years (by 2017). http://www.renehiddingmp.com/whats-hot/2010/03/fourlane_midland_highway.php http://www.renehiddingmp.com/whats-hot/2010/03/fourlane_midland_highway.php Fri, 05 Mar 2010 12:47:12 +1000 In response to a growing epidemic of dangerous driving and disqualified driving, the State Liberals produced a formal policy on vehicle impoundment. http://www.renehiddingmp.com/whats-hot/2009/08/whos_leading_with_good_police.php http://www.renehiddingmp.com/whats-hot/2009/08/whos_leading_with_good_police.php Thu, 20 Aug 2009 16:06:17 +1000
