Greens MPs

Who says kids are apathetic these days? They're obviously being taught some damn good civic values in Tassie's schools!

Senator Kerry Nettle joined pulp mill campaigners and Greens supporters in front of Malcolm Turnbull's office today.

Darlinghust residents were very supportive of the protest. Susan Jarnason and Kerry gave Malcolm a tree with a sign saying 200,000 hectares of native forest will be destroyed by the pulp mill.

ANZ customers and employees responded well to our action at the ANZ Bank's Sydney headquarters today. Kerry Nettle was joined by the Greens' candidate for Wentworth, Susan Jarnason and Sue Mahony who is taking on Peter Garett in Kingsford Smith.

They handed out an Open letter to ANZ Customers asking them to let the ANZ bank know their views on the giant Tasmanian pulp mill.

ANZ has said they will do their own social, economic and environmental assessment of the cost of the pulp mill before deciding on financing the mill.

You can let ANZ know your views by going to the Tell Mr Smith website.

Malcolm Turnbull has done what Gunns and the Prime Minister required and approved the pulp mill. But he hasn't taken it off the election agenda - this is far from over. Mr Turnbull is saying that the conditions he's put on the marine effluent, and saving 400ha of forest, make this a world's best practice mill.

But how can a mill which will destroy 200,000ha of magnificent forest, 500 times what's being protected, be world's best practice? How can a mill that pumps effluent, albeit less than it might, into a pristine environment be world's best practice? How can a mill that adds 10 million tonnes of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere every year be world's best practice? Mr Turnbull didn't answer those questions, because he decided he didn't have to.
