With just ONE WEEK TO GO before the deadline for submissions on the Walker Corporation’s Draft Integrated Impact Statement (DIIS), Save Ralphs Bay Inc.
launches a DVD production today to boost its campaign.

“The idea behind the production is to send the voices of community members and scientists far and wide via DVD and online social networks, along with stunning images of Ralphs Bay and its wildlife,” says DVD producer, oceanographer Dr. Thomas Moore.

“It was fantastic to see that three Franklin MP’s were also prepared to contribute their comments to the DVD Green and Liberal Leaders Nick McKim and Will Hodgman, and Labor MHA Ross Butler. Independent MLC Terry Martin also has his say.

“The testimony of the community members featured is extremely moving and we urge all concerned Tasmanians to seek out the DVD production online – the Save Ralphs Bay website , SaveRalphsBay.org, is a great place to start looking.”

The production will be launched worldwide later today via video-centric social networks.

SRB’s Submission Coordinator Jane MacDonald adds, “There is plenty of information on the Save Ralphs Bay website to help in making a submission, and there is still a week to go before submissions close at 4.30pm on Monday April 6th. Submissions can be delivered, mailed or emailed to the RPDC at enquiry.rpdc@justice.tas.edu.au ”
