The Australian Beef Association stated that the action engages about 2,000 farmers from Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. Chairman Brad Bellinger stated that they would keep felling trees until governments meet their respective demands.
"First day, Sunday we chopped down one tree, second day Monday, we chopped down two trees and so on until we get some action from either Premier Beattie or Morris Iemma to do something about this absurd native vegetation act.
"We know the Australian Government is getting advantage from collecting carbon credits, now we desire payment for what we're doing for the country or we desire the native vegetation act removed." Mr. Bellinger says they require compensation or the vegetation laws must change.
