NSW Greens MP and environment spokesperson Sue Higginson said the mood in Marrickville was “absolutely electric.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I feel we are on the brink of change,” she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In May<\/a>, Sue Higginson brought a bill to NSW Parliament that would stop forestry operations from occurring in areas that are koala habitats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Higgonson, “This is just one piece of our campaign to end native forest logging in NSW finally.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
