Weld Valley protests continue (Tasmania)

In Tasmania, anti-logging protesters halted operations for the day in the Weld Valley, with three arrests for trespass in a newly established exclusion zone. This comes after protests and actions escalated following police raids which evicted two protest camps last week. At stake is the old growth forest in the Weld Valley - some of the tallest trees in the southern hemisphere which live for over 2000 years, as well as giant caves which show evidence of human occupation going back the last Ice Age. Protests are expected to continue in what has been a five year campaign.
