No 280: TAP (CIR) submission 741Kb

You can make a difference.  Every Tasmanian voter is represented by 19 different parliamentary representatives. More than anywhere else in Australia and yet we are still the poorest state in the Commonwealth! Personal letters carry a lot of weight with politicians.

TAP is planning a ‘Democracy Betrayed, Tasmanians Betrayed’ rally and is urgently raising funds.

1. Fact sheets and charts showing the essentials

TAP produced a series of fact sheets and charts describing significant impacts of the proposed pulp mill and its wood supply on the economy, environment and population of Tasmania. These impacts are largely being ignored by the Government and the proponent.
