One Nation's Narracan candidate Ben Lucas said the party supported country-of-origin labelling laws on timber and wood products, and a self-funding model in which harvest revenue supported forest improvement and fire prevention. He said the party would consult industry leaders and audit the millions of dollars Labor spent on the logging industry transition fund before settling on a new approach.

"You can't take away the forestry industry from a town like Noojee and replace the economy with a truffle festival once a year," Mr Lucas said.

The Liberal-National Coalition is still working through the details of its policy, but Nationals leader Danny O'Brien previously vowed to restore native forest logging. Nationals MP Melina Bath, whose portfolio includes timber, said the coalition was finalising its policy but also backed a return to logging.

"We will be announcing a suite of packages and policies in relation to this," Ms Bath said. "They're still going through a parliamentary process and we make sure ... that we've done our costings correctly."

Victoria's Regional Development Minister Michaela Settle said restarting native forestry under a Coalition or One Nation government would cost Victorians.

"One Nation needs to explain how the litigation, timber shortages and bushfire risks that forced the transition have suddenly vanished, because they haven't," Ms Settle said.

"Labor is backing forestry workers into new jobs, growing local plantation timber and keeping forestry skills and experience in our forests to reduce bushfire risk and support better forest management," she said.
