The Wire

It’s been a long running environmental stoush – between forestry company Gunns and green groups , not to mention a lot of Tasmanains . Gunns appear to have finally got what they have wanted for so long – a pulp mill in the Tamar Valley. The federal government today gave the project the green light, with conditions about the amount of chlorine that can be discharged and with the company only able to use plantation timber . Greens Senator Christine Milne says the Greens will continue to do whatever it takes to stop the pulp mill from being built.
