I remember filling out a government survey that fed into this policy change.

At the time i thought we could attempt to replace more than we plan to keep, for future generations to maintain a managed and steady supply of beautiful Jarrah and Karri wood without decimating the forests like has happened.

Was this just impossibly wishful thinking on my behalf?

Cutting down native forrests for firewood is stupid IMO. If I knew the hardwood firewood I buy to go camping came from such a source I wouldn't do it.

Firewood even for heating ones home should be limited to plantation logs, or as others mentioned dead wood on someones property. We aren't a few thousand people trying to survive the harsh Australian winter anymore, our choice impact this planet.
