Mill passes state assessment

A Contributor

I’ve just read the ‘referral’ document to The Minister for the Environment by Gunns and it says in section 2.10 (page 5) that the project has passed ‘State assessment’.

Well let’s think of a state assessment that this mill has passed? There aren’t any are there?

People have until Wednesday to comment on this worthless piece of dishonesty.

And don’t forget this excellent observation on Poyry (also analysed by Simon Bevilacqua in TheSunday Tasmanian, but not posted online):

The Finnish multi-national Jaakko Poyry company have had plenty of experience of coming in and telling the local government how they want things. They are probably the world’s biggest systematic deforester using a proven modus operandi. First they are the ‘expert’ consultant that always recommends the same thing. That is alway build your pulp mill first before before your plantations are actually producing.

With Jaakko Poyry it is never the other way around. They have never built a pulp mill to service existing plantations outside Scandinavia. The reason for this is that Jaako Poyry always gets paid with the real pulp industry cream.

Native old growth forest that is gone forever. What the hapless governments and timber companies are left with is a fickle and declining resource. Plantations that steal all the countries’ water and often never fully mature.

By then Jaako and friends have moved on to the next victim. Gunns and Paul Lennon have been duped again.

Now why doesn’t this surprise anybody?
