“Bendigo and Adelaide Bank should be congratulated on their refusal to fund the destruction of Tasmania’s native forests which is contributing to climate change and biodiversity collapse,” Senator McKim said. “The bank should file the nonsense from Mr Abetz where it belongs. In the rubbish.” “Mr Abetz has simply regurgitated tired old forest industry spin and completely ignored the fact that native forest logging is cooking the planet and destroying ecosystems.” “Native forest logging is an industry whose time is up, and Mr Abetz’s desperate dummy spit yesterday shows that he knows it.” “If more banks had the courage to refuse to fund logging native forests and burning fossil fuels the planet’s climate would not be breaking down around us and ecosystems would not be collapsing.” “Bendigo and Adelaide Bank should stick to their guns and Mr Abetz should forget about the spin and instead stop the massive public subsidies the mendicant native forest logging industry receives from his government every year.” Facebook for the Australian Greens YouTube for the Australian Greens X for the Australian Greens Instagram for the Australian Greens Bluesky for the Australian Greens Privacy Members website Your safety Contact us Our plan Tax the 1% Tackle the cost of living Healthcare for all Fix the housing crisis Strong climate action In your language 2025 policy platform Policy principles & aims Our team Federal MPs State/territory MPs Officeholders Federal portfolios Federal media releases Take action Volunteer Donate Issues & campaigns Upcoming events Greens Shop Leave a bequest Green Magazine All news Our movement About the Greens Become a member Jobs Members website State/territory parties Contact us The Greens acknowledge the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture.
