Garrett needs to take stand on Pulp Mill
An ABC web site headline declared on Friday, “Garrett still on the
fence over pulp mill”. It referred to the current controversial Tasmanian
proposal.
Apparently Peter “…understands why people may have concerns over
the independent assessment of the proposed pulp mill”.
Then he is reported him as saying “…I'm certainly not going to
criticise the process outright."
Lets face it. You could also read this as actually saying “…I'm
certainly not going to criticise anything a Tasmanian Labor State Government
wants to do that could hurt the environment."
In this time of intense environmental awareness
Australians surely expect something more assertive from the
Opposition Environment spokesperson.
