Labor missing in action

Many readers will be aware that the Western Port Woodlands are under threat from massive expansion of sand mining. 

All candidates for Bass Electorate in the upcoming election except Labor have committed to action to protect the woodlands. 

The woodlands may seem small in the scheme of things but that’s just the point. 

We live in the most cleared region of the most cleared state in Australia and they’re all we’ve got left.

Will Labor be the ones to oversee destruction of the last remaining coastal forest in our region or will they promise to fully investigate the huge alternative sand supplies on cleared land in West Gippsland, close to rail and freeway to Melbourne? 

Come on Labor. 

There is still time to act.
