David Llewellyn is undermining the Rudd Government!
The massive subsidies he is paying to Gunns is actually distorting the world woodchip market.
This was one of the surprise findings of some new research my colleagues have undertaken.
Kevin Rudd has seen thousands of Australians lose their jobs in companies like ACL Bearings and the Burnie paper mill, but refused to help on the grounds that Australia would be ‘punished’ by our international trading partners.
Gunns woodchips are undercutting Canadian woodchips in Japan, simply because of the massive government subsidies propping-up the supply out of Tasmania.
David Llewellyn is acting as a ‘rogue agent’, lobbying on behalf of Gunns in a direct contradiction of ALP World Trade Agreement policy.
