Well fair's fair.  My own opinion is that we should all share the pain 
and if it's so important to restrict Qld then the other States should 
be required to *replant* an equivalent area of trees for every square 
mile "saved" in Qld.  Probably help solve a lot of their own local 
salinity etc. problems if they did too.

Cheers, Phred.
