This is not backed by evidence, however. A ruling, by Justice Shane Marshall in December 2006, against the logging of the Wielangta forest by the Tasmanian state business enterprise Forestry Tasmania put into question the assertions made by this government in relation to its use of the word 'protection'.

Marshall said that an agreement to ‘protect’ means exactly what it says. "It is not an agreement to attempt to protect, or to consider the possibility of protecting, a threatened species." Justic Marshall's Wielangta Ruling, December 2006

Unfortunately Marshall's ruling lost effect on 24th February 2007 when the Tasmanian State and Federal Governments colluded to change the text of the state's Regional Forest Agreement. The obligation to 'protect' was deleted with the RFA now merely stating that the two parties agree to deem that protection has taken place. Greens Senator Bob Brown has vowed to initiate further legal action to challenge this new development.
