Are we not blessed in this country with people that have no ability but to look at the very organisations that got everybody to this position today,

How many times do you have to write and call for a full royal commission into MIS Ponzi scams,the effect that it has now been found on regional communities,besides the effect on employment in the pulp industry?

The effect of government ,when needed to support the industry is as crucial to the passing of the Corporations Act that is defective and rewards corrupt and special interest group's to the point that why would you invest in this country,when for the money that investors and shareholders that do believe or did ,might as well gone to the pub and pissed it up the wall.

Investors at this time as tree huggers are done and dusted,the Australian dollar's continued high value and the RBA podering another rate rise,comes to the point that your own laws in bussiness and recourse to proper and so called responsible manangement is definetly flawed and I am not a qualified fin adviser,and I can work it out---mind you after the horse has bolted. But again I reckon I am better qualified than an Ex-union official from the Australian Meatworkers Union of Australia,YEP,Kim Carr of the Wally Curran era of Moscow backed line comm's


Report confirms pulp and paper crisis

A report has found the Australian pulp and paper industry is in crisis with employment, investment and exports all falling.

The $12 billion industry employs almost 19,000 people but has been hit with recent plant closures in Tasmania.

Paperlinx closed its Wesley Vale in February and the Burnie mill will shut at the end of July.

Among Launceston timber company Forest Enterprises Australia went into voluntary administration last week after struggling to finance its $216 million debt.

The report recommends an expansion of timber plantations and for governments to provide more investment support to deal with greater competition with Asia and projected shortages of wood for pulp and paper.

The Federal Government has established a Pulp and Paper Industry Innovation Council in an attempt to reverse the decline in the sector.

Industry Minister Kim Carr say the council will advise him on priorities for industry development.

"The work begins with discussion but it is my expectation, and the expectation of everyone involved, that it will culminate in concrete plans for action," he said.

"The new industry innovation council will champion innovation within the industry and build connections with the wider innovation system."

The formation of the council is one of 18 recommendations in the report.
