I don't know whether you saw it but at the recent Protest in Tassy. Bob Brown mentioned Garrett and the crowd Booed.

Gary,
the fallout from Turnbull's decision continues. Ben Quin, the Liberal candidate for the Labor-held (Dick Adams), marginal seat of Lyons, has resigned, suggesting he might run as an anti-pulp-mill Independent.

Dick Adams is one of those Labor guys who thinks the Greens are romantics and is all for forest-based industries.That is Tassie's future. Mainland Australians have "a disjointed view" of the forestry debate, whereas Tasmanians like himself were much better informed.

Pam,
the new conditions do not stop Tasmania's old-growth forests being logged to feed the mill.There is a lack of transparency around this.

Les,
no I didn't see the video footage.

I understand that the Greens are hopeful of riding the pulp mill wave to increase their Senate seats from 4-6 and so gain the balance of power. One of those extra seats is the ACT. The other seat Greens hope is in Tasmanian: they hope they might receive enough of a surge to deliver a seat to their second Senate candidate, Andrew Wilkie.

That is a very clever cartoon.

Cam,
it sums up the debate around what's happened to Garrett, doesn't it.

Gary, Doubly clever by not putting in a chainsaw with a name to guide the reader into who has 'felled' him. The reader fills in that blank themselves. Was it Rudd, Turnball or Garrett himself. Very, very clever.
