The Victorian Greens have called on the Victorian Labor Government to abolish VicForests, following the release of a damning report by the Victorian Information Commissioner (OVIC). The report found that VicForests had conducted unlawful surveillance on several members of the public, who were all conducting legitimate opposition to actions of VicForests at the time. The investigation was conducted after Deputy Leader of the Victorian Greens, Ellen Sandell MP, referred the matter to OVIC. Ms Sandell said VicForests' previous illegal logging, together with today's report, made it clear that VicForests could not be trusted to act within the law.

MANILA -The Philippine central bank has no reason to raise interest rates further as domestic inflation is easing, the country's finance minister said ahead of a May 18 monetary policy meeting. Finance Secretary Benjamin Diokno reiterated his stance against a rate hike when he spoke to reporters. But he said he was just expressing his opinion and was only one of the seven monetary board members who will each vote during Thursday's decision-making. 'I'm for a pause, that's my opinion. Inflation is going down, huge (foreign exchange) reserves, the current account deficit has expanded but it's financially manageable and that's because of the improved economy, infrastructure spending,' he said.
