Tasmanian environmentalists have lost a case that sought to end native forest logging in the state, but may launch an appeal.
Regional forest agreements are legal arrangements between states and the Commonwealth under the federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act, which is currently under review.They allow for the logging of native timber on public land if certain conditions are met, like protecting endangered species and biodiversity, but have been heavily criticised as ineffective by environmentalists.

Funny how he lawyers up when he thinks he can override the rights of State and Ferderal governments but generally is dismissive of a workers legal rights not to be hassled in a legitimate workplace.
