Tasmanian Forests and Mark Carnegie on Q and A

The UNESCO World Heritage Committee took a very short time to chuck out the Federal Government's plan to delist the Tasmanian World Heritage Forests. So the International experts think our PM and Government are wrong.
The tired argument of jobs vs environment is also WRONG.
Perhaps the Federal Government needed to listen to ABC's Q and A last night where Mark Carnegie talked about '60 year olds' having difficulty keeping up with the changes and technology. Government was slated as being completely unable to move fast enough on good ideas.
The quip  "Business being Hussein Bolt compared to the Government" hit home.

Australian Business may be more a Ben Johnston than Hussein Bolt. Sneakily trying to do feather their own nests, keeping the status quo, lobbying Government on  commitments to fossil fuels than opening themselves up to innovation, climate change challenges and clean energy. Hopefully like Ben Johnston their comeuppance will come sooner rather than later.

Congratulations to the Tasmanian and Australian Environmental activists. But hold on to your hats, the journey will be getting wild and rocky from now on.

Environment Victoria and Australian Conservation Foundation will still be busy organising action
