AFPA launches next stages of Australian Timber
Friday 21 Mar 2025
This week, the Australian Forest Products Association (AFPA) has
launched the next stages of its 2025 Federal Election Campaign,
following the release of our comprehensive Australian Timber.
Australia’s Future Election Policy Platform in
February – which outlines what our national forestry sector and
supply chain requires, to realise its potential for our national
economy, consumers, jobs, the environment and fighting climate change,
AFPA Chief Executive Officer, Diana Hallam said today.
“The AFPA team has been busy promoting our Platform, which
includes key policy and funding requests, to policy and decision makers
across all sides of federal politics over the past few weeks. It’s
now time to launch the next stages of our campaign to support our
Platform,” Diana Hallam said.
AFPA is launching:
-
forestfacts.com.au – a new website
dedicated to countering the disinformation being irresponsibly spread
about the forestry sector.
- New Billboards – to support the campaign
in key forestry battleground electorates, including in Tasmania.
“There is a huge amount of disinformation being spread by
activists about Australia’s sustainable and world leading forestry
sector. The idea behind forestfacts.com.au is
that people interested in the truth about how Australian forestry
operates can have somewhere to go to have myths dispelled and find
further scientific information, as well as a basic overview of
industry,” Diana Hallam said.
“The Billboards running ahead of the Federal Election show the
importance of the timber and forestry industry for homes. They have been
placed in strategic locations to maximise public and political awareness
of the importance of the full supply chain of Australia’s forestry
sector.
“AFPA will continue to execute our Federal Election campaign ahead
of polling day and work to get all sides of federal politics committed
to our Platform,” Diana Hallam concluded.
