Paul Oosting MR ANZ customers informed of how their money is being used to destroy Tasmania’s native forests.
Information events will be held today to inform the public of the ANZ Bank’s involvement in the destruction of Tasmania’s native forests and its potential role in funding Gunns’ proposed pulp mill. Public information sessions will be held outside ANZ branches in Melbourne, Sydney, Hobart, Launceston, and Newcastle.
The ANZ has been involved as banker for Gunns Limited since 1995. This is the monopoly woodchipping company who is responsible for the destruction of Tasmania’s native forests and the subsequent impacts on wildlife, water, tourism and community values.
ANZ is currently considering financing Gunns’ controversial pulp mill in the Tamar Valley, despite inadequate assessment, including no studies on the impact of logging on forests or climate change.

When: 12:30 pm
Sydney: 20 Martin Place, Vica Bayley
Melbourne: 55 Collins St., Geoff Law
Hobart: North Hobart Branch, Elizabeth St., Paul Oosting
