You are all on the money. Basically, if the mill is operating within its permit guidelines or regulations, and those guidelines or regulations as they currently stand don’t properly protect the rights of citizens in the mill vacinity or businesses etc (which is my strong view), legal action is virtualy useless.

In reply to #7, don’t expect the media to coming running in to report on the inadequecies of Section 11. All through our court preceding, which took almost a year from initial letters to pollies and then being overturned by the supreme court, there was very little coverage by the media. A tiny paragraph in the “Gunns Gazette” (Examiner) a couple of small articles in the Mercury, tiny snippets on ABC news and a bit of coverage on Stateline at the begining. There may have been more that slipped under my radar, but my main point is that the whole event has hardly been touched by those media which usually like to dig deep into politics. I think they are either afraid of the implications of probing into the PMAA, especially Section 11, or have been heavied to keep their mouths shut and not cause waves.
