* **Xavier Martin’s criticism of activists:** What specific actions or statements of the activists have prompted Martin’s criticism? * **The media reports’ claims:** What were the specific claims made by the media, and how did they contribute to the perception of NSW as a global deforestation hotspot? * **The figures used by the NSW Government:** What did these figures represent, and how were they calculated?

This miscalculation resulted in an inflated figure of 420,000ha, according to Mr Martin. Mr Martin also highlighted the lack of transparency in the NSW Government’s approach to clearing figures. He argued that the government’s data on clearing was not readily available to the public, making it difficult for citizens to hold them accountable.
