Tasmanian Pulp Mill abomination

The Tasmanian Government continues to force through its legislation to facilitate the Bell Bay Pulp Mill, in Northern Tasmania, near Launceston.
Now the issue which has arisen is the suitability (or otherwise) of the firm of consultants selected to review the proposal. This is likely to be the least of everybody's worries.
Surely the real issue is how the Government itself is not accountable for the proposal; and the extraordinary legislative protection which the Government is offering Gunns Limited, the huge forestry company which is pushing for the proposal.
