we are very much about organic andbiodynamic wines and we didn’t want to go anywhere near this” Simssays. “From a personal viewpoint I won’t support Gunns. Tasmania is avery unique and special place that makes great wines. Why would youpotentially damage that?”Cameron Kidd co-owner at Rathdowne Cellars says: “I’d ratherif I had the chance not send my money to Gunns.

htm] ABC Tasmania | Story Index | Mornings’ feature album: PAUL KELLY: Stolen Apples Mornings’ feature album: PAUL KELLY: Stolen Apples Monday 23 July 2007 Presenter: Tim Cox. Stolen Apples drips with biblical imagery and while Kelly has been there before (right back to Maralinga from 1986′s Gossip) his take on it in 2007 is typically twistedly sardonic but as a Kelly fan it’s more of a joy to hear him well rock out again. Big rolling bass lines accompany God Told Me To and you’re instantly reminded that Paul Kelly is first and foremost a great rock singer. And songwriter: he’s not exactly mellowing. Here and there is sin and angst and torment and love and it’s almost a comeback album to the Paul Kelly we fell in love with 20 years or more ago.
Garrett on Labor’s forest policy

Will Labor continue with that project of Malcolm Turnbull’s?PETER GARRETT: Well it you’ll have to excuse me Mark – I’ve got a very bad throat. Look the most important thing that we can do is to ban the illegal importation of timber. And that was announced by Kevin Rudd today actually in Tasmania. There is some merit in having more information in terms of monitoring but it’s not the guts of the story. The guts of the story is to provide these countries the means by which they can actually take a financial benefit from making sure they address deforestation and that means ratifying Kyoto – that’s the benchmark for Malcolm. And the second thing is ensuringMARK CLVIN: Well you’ve said it’s ratifying Kyoto but really a lot of people would say that the best way to do it would be to achieve transparency to make those countries get rid of a lot of the corruption in those countries. PETER GARRETT: Well lookMARK CLVIN: You’d do that first wouldn’t you?PETER GARRETT: That’s an important issue… PETER GARRETT: Well you can speculate about of these things. The fact of the matter is that the policy has been announced. It’s a policy that incorporates the Tasmanian Community Forests Agreement and the RFAs. It’s a policy which reflects the difficulties of striking a balance down there. And they are difficult there’s no question about that. Excuse my voice – please it’s probably not making for very good radio. But just to continue under no circumstances do we see a situation whereby there is a concern about the balance that’s struck in this particular policy from those communities down there from those timber communities.
Green groups outraged at Labor’s forests policy

Geoff Law is the Wilderness Society’s Tasmanian campaigner and he’s speaking to Gillian Bradford in Canberra. GILLIAN BRADFRD: Geoff Law I take it you’re not as happy as the forestry workers we’ve just heard from there?GEFF LAW: Ah well what was just reported is much worse than what we’ve been emailed about what was in Mr Rudd’s policy statement and if what is reported is correct then it’s an absolute capitulation on the part of Mr Rudd. And furthermore it is a squandering of an opportunity to deal with climate change. For over a year Mr Rudd has been carrying on about climate change and how the Howard Government has been failing to come to grips with it. ne of the best ways of ameliorating the effects of climate change and indeed reducing greenhouse contributions is to protect old growth forests native forests and lock-up the carbon within them.
