Pulp mill campaign information night this Tuesday Night.
When: 6pm-7:30pm This Tuesday 28 April
Where: Tamar Room, Tailrace Centre, West Tamar Highway, Riverside. Meet at the Tailrace cafe at 5:30pm for an informal cup of coffee prior to the meeting.
You have probably heard the media coverage this week about a cargo ship arriving with equipment for the proposed pulp mill. You may have also seen the media coverage last weekend of the ‘NO PULP MILL’ banner at the proposed pulp mill site.
This was a community effort to remind Tasmanians that the threat of the pulp mill still looms, and that Gunns is still seeking both finance and a joint venture partner for the environmentally destructive
mill.
We are holding an information night for our members and supporters so you can find out more about Gunns’ attempts to secure finance and about the company’s plans for a 50% joint venture partner.
Discover how Tasmanian Government agreements for the pulp mill mean that Gunns and any potential foreign investment partner will effectively own our forests and water resources for the next twenty years. And find out how this could jeapordise Tasmania’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and minimise the regional impacts of climate change.
Speakers include:
. Vica Bayley, Tasmanian campaign director
. Paul Oosting, pulp mill campaigner
. Gemma Tillack, climate change and forests campaigner and a spokesperson from Tasmanians Against the Pulp Mill
Come along and find out how you can help to protect our forests and our water, and what you can do to help secure a safe and prosperous Tasmania for your children and future generations.
