Penny Tangey<p>With the shut-down of paper mills it feels like there is a real chance of ending native forest logging in Victoria.</p><p>I've just called the Premier's office and left a message asking for a halt to native forest logging and a just transition for workers. You can call on 03 9651 5000.</p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/NativeForestLogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NativeForestLogging</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/VicForests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VicForests</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/DanielAndrews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DanielAndrews</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/VictorianForests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VictorianForests</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/VictorianForestAlliance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VictorianForestAlliance</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/VFA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VFA</span></a></p>

Penny Tangey<p>There is a 10-year-old in my family who has made a Christmas speech for the past four years. This is what they said this year: </p><p>“This speech, I wanted to be a little more motivational.</p><p>So Great Aunt Theresa, recently for Christmas, the gift she gave me was donating $250 to an organization about protecting the forest. Right here, this is an image of people who came before her. They were all loggers.</p><p>So to me this represents that good can come from anywhere. No matter how bad your fore, foref…whatever the previous generations were…you can always improve. You’re not bound to make the same mistakes as them. You can always change.</p><p>That’s my speech.”</p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/NativeForestLogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NativeForestLogging</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Change" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Change</span></a></p>
Penny Tangey<p>I feel a bit disconnected from those expressing great relief and happiness about the Victorian election result. I guess it's because I never thought the Coalition could win, but I had hopes and dreams for a hung parliament.</p><p>So rather than feeling relieved that Daniel Andrews is still Premier I'm contemplating all the work that needs to be done - for example to stop native forest logging and new gas projects.</p><p>A hung parliament wouldn't have solved all our problems, but it might have made it easier to get the changes we need.</p><p>Anyway, direct action ahoy.</p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/VicPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VicPol</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/VictorianElection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VictorianElection</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateCrisis</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/NativeForestLogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NativeForestLogging</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/DirectAction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DirectAction</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/NoNewGas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoNewGas</span></a></p>
