dealLabor’s Plan Takes An Axe to Victoria’s Timber Industry and Jobs By Portal Admin - 16th September 2018 - Back to News Daniel Andrews has done a deal with the Greens to kill Victoria’s timber industry and destroy tens of thousands of jobs.
Daniel Andrews’ desperate plan shows just how far he will go to keep his Greens coalition partners on side, and save his own job.
Daniel Andrews is more interested in saving his own job rather than the jobs of timber workers.
This plan will destroy tens of thousands of Victorian jobs but Labor – the party that claims it stands for workers – doesn’t care.
Daniel Andrews is threatening the livelihood of 50,000 Victorians, and their families, who rely on the timber industry to pay the bills and put food on the table for the sake of political point scoring.
It’s only a matter of time before Labor caves completely to its Greens coalition partners and seals the death of Victoria’s $7 billion timber industry.
