Former Greens Party leader Bob Brown and two supporters have been arrested and charged over a logging protest in Tasmania at a harvesting site in the Styx Valley, near Mount Field National Park.
Before being transferred to Bridgewater Police Station, Dr. Brown held an impromptu press conference from the back of a police vehicle, telling an AAP reporter that loggers from Forestry Tasmania had clear-fell logged up to five giant trees from an area close to the boundary of a world heritage area.
