| Message | Let's put our nation's forests back in the hands of the people. |
| Date | 09:02:32, August 24, 2006 CET | From | Fenner Brockway Socialist Party | To | Debating the Forestry Act |
| Message | If the government manages it, it IS in the hands of the people, because we have a democratically elected government that represents the people. The trouble with removing state oversight would be the risk of the forests being rapidly diminished, with grave costs to the environment. |
