Winter bush trend attracting $9,800 fines shows no signs of slowing down
A winter trend attracting fines of up to $9,879 appears to show no signs of slowing down despite repeated stern warnings from frustrated authorities. Last week, two people were allegedly caught with a trailer full of illegally felled firewood after community members reported "suspicious activity" in the Glen Park State Forest, north of Ballarat. As part of Taskforce Ironbark, a state-wide initiative led by Victoria's Conservation Regulator in partnership with Parks Victoria and Victoria Police, officers intercepted the two accused on August 5 and seized their trailer, the firewood, two chainsaws and block splitters. Police also impounded a vehicle after discovering the driver was allegedly operating it with a suspended licence. "Intelligence gathering by the Conservation Regulator identified large-scale removal of timber by several people of interest, which was allegedly being sold for firewood," the Department of Energy, Environment, and Climate Action (DEECA) agency explained in a press release. "Many of the trees targeted were large, dead specimens that provide critical habitat for our native wildlife such as powerful owls. Reports also indicated trees were being partially cut and left standing, posing safety risks to forest users." Powerful Owls, which are listed as threatened under the state's threatened species laws, lost a substantial amount of their habitat in the 2019/20 bushfires, according to the Victorian National Parks Association. 💰 Aussies warned over fines up to $5,500 for illegal bush act 🪓 Warned over $137,850 fines after illegal national park trend 🌳 Incredible discovery at beloved Aussie national park after tragedy Authorities warn they will 'not tolerate' illegal felling for firewood While the most recent incident remains under investigation, Taskforce Ironbark Manager Brady Childs said the message to black market firewood operators is clear. "If you're caught illegally removing timber from public land for commercial gain, you will be held accountable," he told Yahoo News. "This includes significant fines, facing prosecution, and the loss of vehicles and equipment. The Conservation Regulator is focused on detecting and disrupting organised crime on public land." Although it is Illegal to cut up trees from national parks for firewood, numerous states have reported an annual spike in offences during the winter months, prompting officers to ramp up patrols. In Victoria, offenders caught in the act on public land face steep on-the-spot fines exceeding $814. More serious offences can attract penalties of up to $9,879 and 12 months' imprisonment. It's understood the two people allegedly caught with illegally felled firewood in Ballarat have not received any penalties as of Tuesday. "Our rapid response and surveillance technology helped detect alleged offenders and ensure public safety," a spokesperson for Victoria Police said Victorians can legally collect free firewood for personal use from designated collection areas in state forests during the autumn and spring firewood collection seasons. Rules apply around where, when, what and how much wood can be collected. Victorians allegedly caught in the act this winter The latest incident comes just weeks after a man hauling a trailer allegedly filled with illegal firewood became bogged in mud near Reedy Lake in Victoria's Nagambie Wildlife Reserve. Inside the tandem trailer, officers claim they discovered a load of recently cut Red River Gum timber, and another "freshly felled" tree nearby. Despite being issued a series of infringement notices, the same man was allegedly seen returning to the area the same night, prompting officers to seize his trailer, the timber and a chainsaw. Earlier this year, two more Victorians were allegedly caught by police "loading freshly cut and split timber" into a tandem trailer in a pre-dawn sting at the Wandong Regional Park.

Brazil's Lula speaks with China's Xi on BRICS, bilateral opportunities
BRASILIA (Reuters) -Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva spoke with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on Monday, his office said, adding the two spoke for an hour during which they discussed bilateral business and the role of the BRICS group of states. "Both agreed on the role of the G20 and BRICS in defending multilateralism," the presidency said in a statement. "Both presidents also highlighted their willingness to continue identifying new business opportunities between the two economies." Lula said last week he would initiate a conversation about how to tackle Trump's tariffs with BRICS nations, after Trump dubbed the group "anti-American" and threatened them with additional tariffs.
