SA's forestry industry says it's struggling to secure enough water licences to expand, warning that if growers plant forests interstate instead, jobs and investment will follow.

According to ABARES data from 2016, more than 5,500 people were directly employed in the forestry sector in South Australia and most of those were in the state's south east.

He said over time, if forest growers shifted to Victoria, jobs based in South Australia would move across too. "We haven't been able to get investors interested in this region and I suspect that's because they've had a look at the long-term prospects of availability of resources here."Concerns over the amount of water available to the forestry industry come as an independent review of the science underpinning the Water Allocation Plan enters its final stages of peer review.

Meanwhile, tSouth Australia's Parliament started a separate inquiry earlier this year to investigate issues in the timber industry in the Limestone Coast.

Old convictions holding back Aboriginal Victorians, inquiry toldVictoria is the only state or territory in Australia that does not have a spent convictions scheme, which allows for minor convictions to be wiped from someone’s record after a period of time with no offending. Whether it is minor or major, society doesn’t care if an individual has served their sentence and is rehabilitated. Therefore, just bring back the death sentence so the offender has no dream of a normal life and so the offender isn’t a burden on social welfare. Wipe them. Wouldn't old convictions be holding back everyone not just Aboriginals
