The Andrews Labor government has been felling Victoria's forestry industries. Each year, only four in every 10,000 trees are harvested from Victorian forests. The Greens, of course, think that's a high number, because it's equivalent to the number of votes that they get! Timber workers are being sold out by Dan Andrews, and so is this Leader of the Opposition. Vote federal Labor, and you get Senator Richard Di Natale. The Leader of the Opposition used to take pride in standing up for workers—no more! Labor MPs can see how his commitment to workers is being woodchipped. Maybe the member for Maribyrnong has traded his knife for an axe. All opposition MPs can now see there's only one word for the growth of the Leader of the Opposition's integrity: timber!
