Garrett's lack of Balls / suing the Weld Angel




Hey all, have been a bit lax on the blog front, but in brief over last two weeks:

*Gunns head office occupation last monday - good media, well recieved locally in Launceston, and the Gunns Ltd employees at head office are scary corporate zombie types(no surprises there)
*Garrett's visit to Tas- Mr Garrett did a quick trip to tassie to attend a $200 a head labour fundraiser. HVEC and Still Wild Still Threatened (and a random and v.upset polar bear) were there to make his life uncomfortable. A Wedgie up a tree across from the restuarant, showers and piles of woodchips for Garrett to wade through, classic Oils hits on the sound system, and multiple presentations to Garrett inside and out of his own balls on a platter of woodchips - left behind when he joined Labour. The Weld Angel also tracked him around all day.
*Two day action in the Little Denison Valley, one up from the Weld. HVEC crew discovered new roading operations into pristine giant regnans old growth , and the set up lasted two days. One to keep an eye on, this is a few hundred hectare remnant in a sea of devastation, only five minutes form the small community of Lonnavale.
*New FT 3 year plan out, confirming bridge over the weld this summer, multiple coupes in the Barnback Catchment, and three coupes in the next 18 months in the aformentioned Little Denison area.More information will be posted about this soon.
*FT and Tas Police sued the Weld Angel, resulting in some pretty good media coverage. Dodgy bastards pick on Angelic artist - check huon.org for more details on this one.
*Forest defenders in court for cable logger Weld actions and Howard hassling.To be continued.......

True. How can Garrett sleep while the beds are burning? The respect and high esteem I held you in for the 80's and early 90's traded for the political arena.Had hoped if he did take this plunge it would be for the benefit of our natural heritage, environment and Tasmania's future. Come on Mr Garrett take courage and action by standing up for what you truly believe in!!!
