It seemed as though the battles over Tasmania's forests would peter away when nearly half the state was protected from logging. But now there's a new conflict over how best to use what's left of the state's forests. And it's bringing fresh voices into a debate that has long been monopolised by extremes. Alan Sunderland reports. There's a section of the Australian Army that specialises in improving living conditions in third world countries. But when the Army's 17 Construction Squadron needs to hone its skills, it doesn't have far to go. Its latest project is on Queensland's Palm Island. Tanya Denning reports
