Being an ex Taswegan I have been thoroughly disgusted about the way Gunn's, a rogue timber woodchipping co has been destroying pristine centuries old forests all over Tasmania ...now an ex employee of the forest industry has spoken out ...if you have some time you might like to read about it ...here is an extract...
"Manning is no greenie hardliner. He is a man who has worked for 30 years in the Tasmanian forests, who believes the forests ought to be logged, but logged so that they remain for the future. Yet he alleged to the Senate committee that forestry management had been corrupted. At the hearing, he painted a picture of the illegal destruction of public forests on a scale so vast that it was transforming the landscape of Tasmania. Branding what was happening in Tasmania " an ecological disaster", Manning talked of how an "accelerated and unaccountable logging industry" was destroying wholesale native forests, "which are unique in the world for their flora and fauna".

This is why I don't trust Big business and their influence on governments
