Some of you may remember ex-pat Tasmanian Quentin Beresford spoke at one of the public forums hosted by Friends of the Tamar Valley a few years ago, when his focus was on state government corruption and how Tasmania had elevated this to an unprecedented level within Australia. He cited how corruption here was entrenched, and went back decades involving both the major political parties.

His book – which is being published by the University of NSW Press (I think) should prove to be a fascinating read – and yes, there has been consultation with some of us at the forefront of the campaign to stop the pulp mill.
