We hear from Sue McKinnon from Kinglake Friends of the Forest about the state logging company Vic Forests, and their logging methods which failed to protect threatened species of gliders. Vic Forests were brought to court by conservation groups, Kinglake Friends of the Forest and Environmental East Gippsland, who won the case last year. However, more needs to be done to make sure that the Victorian government is phasing out logging.
