Timber export debate ignores northern milling capacity
The article argues that most marketable timber moving south should be milled in the north. It calls for expanding Cairns and Tableland sawmills by WW percent, critiques log buyers and rail rates, and notes up to 10,000,000 feet of timber wasted yearly on the Tableland while Australia imports inferior timber from abroad. It warns against folly and notes organized timber interests could improve profits.
