WorkSafe Tasmania has threatened protesters with fines of up $500,000, but Bob Brown says activists won’t stop

Anti-logging activists from the Bob Brown Foundation have been banned from protesting in Tasmanian forests by the state’s workplace safety regulator over “unsafe behaviour”, and threatened with fines as high as $500,000.

But the veteran conservationist said protesters would not be deterred and has flagged legal action against the restrictions.
