'The Franklin protests were at their peak in late 1982 and early 1983.  I
and probably many other birding-aus readers were among the hundreds of
thousands of Australians (native-born or otherwise) who took part.  The
issue was very important in the March 1983 federal election.  This was
pretty much an international first with an environment issue playing a
major role in toppling a national government.' 

Let's hope environmental concerns play a part in toppling the national
government this year!
