Proposed pulp mill needs a new home
The Australian – Aug 27, 2007
In the lead-up to the last election then Labor leader Mark Latham's political suicide strategy included backing environmental activists over Tasmanian timber workers. Three years later as another poll approaches a similar high-stakes issue is in play that has the potential to make and break careers in state and federal politics and shape the direction of Tasmania's economy for decades to come.
