ENOUGH IS ENOUGH


The logging industry awaits the day when this kind of pathetic photographic propaganda is stopped. Burnt wilderness, devastation and God only knows what. It has to be stomped on, and from a great hight, before it all gets out of hand.

Usually these pictures are taken in some very remote place and of a very small section of a harvested area after a burn off. The reality is quite different.

These pictures are feeble attempts at truth by assertion. Anyone who is seriously in touch with what’s actually going on in Tasmania’s forests knows that all this humbug is sheer embellishment.

They would also know that when Tasmania gets its promised pulp mill all the left over forest will be fed into a power station next to it. All wastage will be avoided!

That will also save a lot of water stored in Tasmania's dams and also, it will make much more energy available to be fed into the national energy grid. And what is more to the point, it will be clean and carbon neutral, and it goes on from there. Isn’t that the sort of thing these tin pot picture takers are looking for?

It’s fascinating isn’t it that the so called “autumn atomic clouds” will not be there anymore. And Tasmanians will have access to cheaper electricity too. This will be a new way for the logging industry to make a difference and one that will touch every Tasmanian.

If the logging industry didn’t clean up after itself all hell would break loose. The industry has simply found a more productive way forward and enough is enough. The industry is simply committed to a tidier Tasmania and creating more jobs in the process.

When will all this nonsense end?

Reckon its about time that our messy forests were tidied up and put into neat rows that make it easier to harvest.
If the forest industry ran the state we could stop this natter from possum cuddlers and as big red says, "heal the wounds".
We could have super highways and our kids could have creamy jobs pushin pedals and pullin gears.
We wouldn't need year 11 or 12 anymore for educashon, we could save heaps of money by getting rid of teachers who are mostly possum cuddlers anyhow.
Instead we could get our boys into a propoer job like truck drivin and our girls could be got into cookin and house keepin stuff.
Carn the pulp mill, our future and our jobs.

Kingo the road
