Good point jwfc, and more to the point was Bob Browns highly successful campaign to stop the damming of the Franklin River system and consequently the building of a hydro power scheme that would have equalled The Snowy Mountain Scheme, providing the greenest and most efficient energy to not only Tasmania but Victoria and southern NSW as well. The building of Alcoa Aluminium Smelter would have made Tasmania a very wealthy state instead of being a mendicant one to the tune of over $200,000 PP , all this a direct result of "Green Lies".
