As a local timber worker, I am so disappointed that the government has decided to implement a massive Great Koala National Park without looking after the workers.
The possibility that my job might go because there is no more timber being sent to my workplace is already a massive stress for me and my workmates and all of our families.
The stress is made even worse because the government has put forward a totally inadequate support package and then can’t even explain the rules of their own support package.
We can look after koalas and look after workers too. The government must do better.
