island of the green giant, page-27

Shouldn't be surprised at the power the greens have, they have stopped nearly ever industrial development in Tassie since they became the power balance at the last election. It's crazy but in this country our democratic system has facilitated extreme minority groups to define public policy.

It is now almost impossible to get outside investment into Tasmania and if the Shree minerals approval is overturned Tassie will go into the dark ages. As it stand for every dollar Tassie spends it earns only 60c. The rest of the country is paying the other 40c. If these mines are stopped that balance will even get worse.

There are critical times ahead for Tassie and time for the local population to make a stand and get back to real democracy not this sham of a system we have currently.

There are a lot of angry people out there right now.
