Our government has sold us out.
Our elected representatives have passed a law removing your democratic rights. Section 11 of the Pulp Mill Assessment Act says no one is entitled to appeal for compensation from damages to their business, property values or health caused by Gunns’ planned pulp mill.
In spite of majority public opinion against the planned mill, governments both state and federal have poured millions of dollars of community money into supporting it. Thats money that could have been spent on hospitals and schools.
State Labor has extended deadlines for Gunns and has refused to rule out compulsory land purchases for pipelines for private business.
