The Environmental Protection Authority has given the logging industry a new extension which allows it to keep releasing a highly toxic gas into the air.
In 2010, the EPA said timber exporters had 10 years to stop releasing the significantly ozone-depleting gas - methyl bromide - into the atmosphere.
That deadline elapsed in October last year, but industry calls for more time have now been granted for a fourth time.
