If you haven't heard yet. The Pulp mill has been Approved.

After all the fuss, without proper consideration they've approved it.

more info at:

I'm not someone that follows the Pulp mill debate closely however I do believe they didn't get enough long term information for such a large project.

A $2 billion pulp mill for Tasmania's north-east has been given the green light, subject to what the federal government says are the toughest environmental conditions in the world.


$2 Billion ! come on seriously. 100 different arguements come into my head on what else the money could be spent on and why the pulp mill is wrong.

Well

"access to all the evidence and information we requested"


These people are not scientists, they are politicians.. I can only imagine they didn't request all the right information.

Personally not opposed to mass development, However, tasmania has survived since its settlement without a pulpmill.

He said its construction and flow-on investment would create 3,500 direct and indirect jobs spread across the trades and other areas.


Great i guess, until the mill is complete, and the demand for an extra 3,500 trades qualified people cannot be met in Tasmania

They even state that they will have trouble getting the funds.

Really, the article doesnt tell us anything we didn't already know about the whole thing, just that its a go ahead, would have been nice to see a list of the 48 restrictions implied...
