Pulp Mill Approved
Here is the chief scientists "glowing" report.From the report:
"89. The Department is of the view that, based on the available evidence, the impacts of the
proposed action on the Commonwealth marine environment, listed threatened and
migratory marine species and listed threatened and migratory terrestrial species will be
acceptable, subject to a number of conditions."
proposed action on the Commonwealth marine environment, listed threatened and
migratory marine species and listed threatened and migratory terrestrial species will be
acceptable, subject to a number of conditions."
And the conditions: http://www.environment.gov.au/epbc/notices/assessments/2007/3385/pubs/summary-approval-conditions.pdf
"• Noise-generating activities must stop if a whale, seal or dolphin approaches within
defined safety zones."
"• Noise-generating activities must stop if a whale, seal or dolphin approaches within
defined safety zones."
A protester put themself under a log truck on Macquarie St. today which held up traffic.
Alex Pos made a bet with me that dispite the approval, somehow the mill will never get built and completed. I am predicting that's an easy $50 to me.

To alot of people in Tasmania this is a sensitive topic. Maybe people I know just don't care? Can anyone imagine Robin Grey with the binoculars looking out for a dolphin?
50 years...
I can just see the protected zone: the tub that is the pulper itself. I've heard that dolphin blood is a little confrontin on glossy paper.
A good idea, but the approval process has been crap.
