Sustainable Timber Tasmania has revised its previous statements regarding the destination of logs harvested from public native forests. The company initially asserted that all such logs were processed within Tasmania. However, it has now acknowledged that logs are, in fact, being exported to Victoria for processing. This correction follows inquiries from parliament, prompting the company to amend its earlier response. The change in information raises questions about transparency and the economic benefits of Tasmanian forestry practices. Details regarding the volume and value of logs sent to Victoria have not yet been disclosed. The company has not explained the reason for the initial inaccurate statement.
