Policy inconsistency and indirect support for logging undermine environmental progress. | Victoria's policy to stop native logging is a positive step toward environmental sustainability and aligns with SDG 13 and 15. However, the continued import of Tasmanian forest products creates a loophole that undermines this progress, suggesting a lack of full commitment to sustainable practices. The use of taxpayer funds to indirectly support logging further weakens the ethical and environmental case.
