Maybe you've got a government with half a brain in its head Rosemary.
Our governments are still suffering with the extractive mind set of the
European rapists of a bygone era.

Subject: Tassie Pulp Mill
"The debate about whether or not it was in Australia's best long-term
interest to cut down trees and turn them into low-value pulp never got
a guernsey."
>From the other side of the world it seems difficult to believe, in fact
it seems almost criminal, that it is still possible to build a pulp mill
and feed it with native forest in a country like Australia.
I know the UK is not a good example - we chopped our forests down
hundreds of years ago for ships, houses and charcoal. But most wood pulp
in Europe now comes from managed forests in Scandinavia.
