GUNNS boss John Gay has warned the Federal Government not to impose new restrictions or changes on the company’s controversial $1.9 billion pulp mill. Mr Gay told the Mercury yesterday he could not work with any “tougher permits” if imposed by the Government. The Gunns executive chairman appeared poised to axe the Tamar Valley mill if federal Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull this week makes its approval conditional on tougher marine effluent controls.
… “I wouldn’t think there is anything in the Peacock report that we should be worried about because the mill is world class – it meets all of the science that the environment requires totally,” Mr Gay said. “I would expect Peacock’s report would only be glowing about the science of the mill.”
