Together: broken promises
In 2001 the Tasmanian Government initiated a community
consultation process called Tasmania
Together. The process aims to give the people of Tasmania a voice
about the future direction of their state. The community process called
for an end to clearfelling in special places, including the Styx by
January 2003. The clearfelling continues and the latest 2003
progress report of Tasmania Together admits failure.
Visit The
Wilderness Society website for a detailed background to the
Styx campaign.
