Ian,
After all the recent fires in Tasmania, will the 'good citizens of
Tasmania' be more concerned about their economy or
climate-change?....we recently saw the writing on the wall' in the
Redcliffe by-election and I think there will be further surprises in
the forthcoming re-run of the WA senate election, I would like to
think that there is still hope for Tassies Forests, and will still
continue to push poll-buttons (....when I'm not at work),
best of luck,
Tom
