Government undercuts plantation investors

Lookit, Big John has done it again!! He's suckered Bob G and his mates over at Forestry Tas into totally undercutting the insane price expected by plantation 'investors' by nearly $20 per tonne!!
Course, Bob says that plantation timber produces more pulp so Gunns will have an incentive to use it...pigs arse! What, does Bob think we've gone all weak minded and are going to pay $20 per tonne over the odds just to keep some Pitt Street tree farmers in Porsches? What John has effectively achieved is to reset the price of wood supply to below $20 per tonne and if the Pitt St boys don't like it, they can take their wood elsewhere.
HAH HAH HAAAAH

Brilliant piece of work by JG and the boys. It was time those Pitt St wallahs got their comeuppance.

How much do these suckers pay for their wood lots anyway?

So now Gunns can be competitive with Chile and so on and Forestry and the loggers are SAVED!!

Yippee and thanks big John.
