“Then prime minister John Howard and Tasmanian premier Paul Lennon…agreed at about the same time to amend the Tasmanian Regional Forests Agreement. The section in which the state agreed to protect endangered species from logging was rewritten.
In November 2007, the Full Federal Court overturned the earlier decision. In effect, it found that Regional Forests Agreements gave no guarantee that the environment, including endangered species, would not suffer because of logging.
The moratorium on logging the Wielangta forest, in Tasmania’s south-east, no longer applied. Senator Brown was ordered to pay costs.”
