‘I declare all my criminal history updates to AHPRA’: GP after her 12th arrest
The Tasmanian GP travelled to NSW to challenge the state-run Forestry Corporation.
Tasmanian GP Dr Lisa Searle was arrested on Tuesday morning — her fourth arrest this year and 12th in total.
She had used a metal device to attach herself to the Sydney entrance of NSW’s state-run Forestry Corporation, which manages timber production on public land.
Police cut her out of the device and then charged her with failing to comply with directions.
Dr Seale says she and fellow protesters want to send “a strong message to Forestry Corporation, as well as the NSW Government, that native forest logging is just totally unacceptable in the current environment and climate crisis”.
