What was decided

The majority voted against a motion to alter the logging plans in north-east Tasmania in order to save the habitat of the endangered Tasmanian wedge-tailed eagle.

Wording of the motion

That the Senate—

(a) notes a study by the University of Melbourne and Forestry Tasmania which estimates that the threat of extinction of the Tasmanian wedge-tailed eagle in north east Tasmania rises from 65 per cent to 99 per cent if current logging plans go ahead; and

(b) calls on the Commonwealth and Tasmanian Governments to address this finding by altering the proposed logging so that the eagle’s prospects of survival are improved rather than worsened.
