Dear NEVILLE,
GetUp members have been fighting the Gunns pulp mill in Tassie for three years – but the next three days could be the most important yet.
Tasmanians awoke today to a surprise: last night Tasmania’s Governor asked Premier David Bartlett to form a new Labor Government, when just 24 hours ago it looked certain that the Liberals would govern. The situation is precarious for the new Government, and for Tasmania’s native forests: the green lungs of Australia.
Over the next few days Labor’s 10 MPs will sit down to decide what their new Government will look like, and whether they’ll stand for a new deal for Tasmania’s forests — or for more of the same polluted politics that led to the approval of Gunns’ pulp mill.
Tasmanian GetUp members are already emailing and calling their MPs — but many are worried: this Government has ignored their voices before. Our campaign against the pulp mill has already proved that when GetUp members across Australia get involved we have a immense impact.
