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.
On 24 November 2007, the Australian Body Politic had a Heart/Brain transplant. So far, it seems the patient is making a good recovery, but we shall monitor progress. As of 31 December 2007, the patient has been moved out of "Intensive Care". There was a period of uncertainty, under Kevin Rudd, and then Julia Gillard. On 14 September 2010 Julia Gillard was sworn in as Prime Minister, by the Governor General.
