NO pulp mill for Tasmania
its a ludicrous idea
fight on
if need be there could be a world wide campaign
similar to the 'anti "damming the Franklin" campaign
this would be another jolt to big business's and governments all over the world, that they cant just keep destroying what little fresh country we have left, and especially for our little fresh children and those yet to come into this tired old dirtied world, so send the message... FRESHEN UP HOWARD & LIBERAL MP'S

ANY OTHER INDUSTRY ACCEPTS THAT THEIR JOBS GET CUT.

I want to urget hose foresters to STOP CRYING LIKE BABIES about their jobs and GROW UP.

Personally I would love to see some aggresive media go down and ask these people why they think they should be provided work where other people (in cities or other industries, for example) do without.

These foresters are lazy, greedy scumbags with a huge sense of entitlement.

Hey Ditch!

You are quite right. Do you, or anyone else remember the "intelligent Island" initiative? It was a Telstra (and maybe Govt) project to assist Tasmanians to wean themselves from the extractive industry mentality and convert a lot of jobs to teleworking and ICT. Basically, it would set up call centres and other service centres that used broadband and releive the "burden of distance".

Why didn't it work? I don't know, but maybe now is a time to revive it with Telstra/OPTUS and the Libs/Labour to see who can garner a few more votes? Any takers?
