“The WA Forest Products Commission has received more financial support from the government than it has generated in profit. FPC’s native forestry operations have posted repeated losses, and log quality and forest values have steadily declined. Relatively few people are employed in native forestry. A plan for transition would protect both forests and state finances.” Barking up the Wrong Trees, The Australia Institute 2016
