Tasmanian Pulp Mill
Some news reports today have suggested that I support, unconditionally, the construction of a pulp mill in Tasmania.
I made it very clear in comments yesterday that although I hoped it would be possible to build the pulp mill, the final decision to go ahead with the project would be subject to all environmental considerations being fully satisfied.
The Minister for the Environment and Water Resources has established a proper procedure for assessing this proposed development and that procedure will be followed meticulously.
