Clean Marine Aquaculture has already earned State government approval and is due to receive a response to its development application from George Town Council in the New Year. Managing director Bill Fotheringham and director Adrian Van Huissteden are hopeful their high-tech project will get the green light so construction of the $13m fish farm can begin next March. “The number of suitable sites for aquaculture development in sea cages in-shore aquaculture have been diminishing and are largely occupied now by the salmon industry. If aquaculture was to take the next step forward then it needed to come on-shore” Mr Fotherington said.

Rural skills centres want role in education reforms

The principal of the Tasman District School Steve Bowes says it is not yet clear what will happen to the skills centre under the reforms. “Most skills centres would be saying that they would like to retain that identity that they have with their community” he said. “So if the Tasmania Tomorrow initiative is that skills centres become part of an annexe for instance of a college in Hobart that’s a pathway we wouldn’t like to go down. David Judge from the Tasman Peninsula’s Skills Centre hopes they will have a bigger role. “(To) allow our students to stay in the local area” he said. The Education Minister David Bartlett says rural skills centres will be better resourced under the education reforms. “Because I believe it’s part of that access problem that our young people have that contributes to our poor retention rates” he said.
John Howard environmentalist
n Line opinion – Dec 24, 2007
A report entitled “Rethinking deliberative governance: dissecting the Queensland land-clearing campaign” by the Queensland Conservation Council explains that the new legislation established a framework for the regulation of land use on freehold land representing a significant departure from “dominant ideologies that accept private landowners retain sovereignty over land management”. Furthermore all “carbon credits” have accrued to the government not the individual landholders. In 2004 logging in Tasmania dominated the election campaign. It initially appeared that both Labor and the Coalition would seek to outbid each other in terms of how much Tasmanian forest they could save. Then after opposition Labor leader Mark Latham announced his forestry policy the Howard government changed tack and was very publicly applauded by timber workers for promising to save their industry. This further cemented John Howard’s alliance with blue-collar workers across Australia and he won that election. During the same year campaigning to return environmental water to the Murray River created much angst within farming communities.
