Hi

Speaking of the Pulp Mill Tom does it make any of you wonder whenever Peter G is asked about the pulp mill he straight away talks about the past government holding back the advancements in renewable energy and not signing the kyoto protocol rather answering a straight question where the answer should be explaining why he thinks the pulp mill is a good idea and also what does it do to make it environmentally friendly?, doesn't he realise if he gave an explanation it might eradicate the idea in people's heads that he is a hypocrite?, don't get me wrong I'm not leaning towards Liberal, I support Garrett but he needs to make it easier for his supporters to understand him better as well as the rest of the community.


Help me out here guys

thanks

Hi Miron

Thanks for the detailed response.  I agree pretty much with everything
you've said.  But I just don't get why that isn't apparent to
enlightened people in cabinet like PGa, if not Kevin Rudd as well, or if
it is, what is stopping them?  Politically, as you say, it seems the fed
govt isn't able to do much, although the hybrid car scheme seems good.

I think PGa was at his strongest, when, in the election campaign, he
used the impartiality of the courts, saying that he would submit the
highly contentious pulp mill to administrative and judicial review.

If only he could do the same on climate change, and thereby bypass the
fall-out from the mining industry, by using the independence of the
courts as the forum for making much-needed changes to the industry...

PS - "Miners drive across the land.  Encounter no resistance when the
people block the road." (Maybe the band realised that PGa would one day
be Mr Impartial Environment Minister when it decided Rob would sing that
one instead of PGa!)
