Call for inquiry into forestry safety

A call has gone out for tougher workplace safety measures and an inquiry into forestry safety.
It follows an increase of work-related deaths, up to nearly 30 forestry worker deaths in the past five years. 
Now, bereaved families, the trade union, forestry experts and Ikaroa-Rāwhiti candidates are all contributing to the discussion about what needs to be done to prevent further deaths.  Raiha Johns has this story.
