Maybe you've got a government with half a brain in its head Rosemary. Our governments are still suffering with the extractive mind set of the European rapists of a bygone era. Tony. -----Original Message----- From: Rosemary Royle Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2007 8:35 PM To: Evan Beaver; Tony Russell; Birding-aus (E-mail) Subject: Tassie Pulp Mill "The debate about whether or not it was in Australia's best long-term interest to cut down trees and turn them into low-value pulp never got a guernsey." >From the other side of the world it seems difficult to believe, in fact it seems almost criminal, that it is still possible to build a pulp mill and feed it with native forest in a country like Australia. I know the UK is not a good example - we chopped our forests down hundreds of years ago for ships, houses and charcoal. But most wood pulp in Europe now comes from managed forests in Scandinavia.
