Warwick Raverty speaks to typingisnotactivism
“CSIRO has a mission statement that includes the words ‘to … provide social and environmental benefit to Australia’. Now while I was not acting on behalf of CSIRO while I was on annual leave, I believe that I was contributing to the great Australian tradition of Volunteers and using my scientific expertise to provide both social and environmental benefit to 100,000 people in the Tamar Valley, whose health and quality of life will be put at severe risk if the Pulp Mill Assessment Act 2007, or Gunns’ Dream Act 2007 as the Leader of the Upper House in Tasmania calls it, takes its expected shonky course.
“If an Australian judge determines that I have technically breached one of the conditions of my employment in order to protect the health of 100,000 of my fellow citizens, I will willingly and happily go to jail for the offense. Nelson Mandela will be sitting right beside me in spirit keeping me company!”, Dr Raverty said.
