Well, it seems the rest of Australia is also watching the obvious corruption of our pulp mill assessment process, and they can’t believe what they’re seeing either; Tasmania is the laughing stock of the nation over this fiasco, and our “Good Name” is now equivalent to the Good Name Of Gunns.

If Paul Lennon really cared about “The Good Name Of Tasmania” he would force the pulp mill to meet the guidelines he promised it would meet, or he would resign.

That he fails to do either speaks volumes about Mr Lennon’s real priorities.

The Good Name Of Tasmania? Soon to be a thing of the past, I’d say.

That report misses the fundamental fax.
If the BBC can fake a bit of sensationalism by falsely presenting the Monarch in high dudgeon, surely Auntie’s niece could have presented Big Red in a more realistic light with a bit of biffo, perhaps an arrangement to conduct interviews only around the back of the bike shed?

The travesty of actions by Tassie’s bad man of politics has exposed the systemic cronyism and deception that IS politics in Tasmania.

Congratulations to John Clarke & Co for showing our top Gunn Premier to the nation. For many of us it was perhaps a few decades too late!..but Lennon’s deceptions over the Pulp Mill assessment were so numerous and too blatant to be ignored.

Jeff Malpas’s essay on the incongrousness of truth and political process within a system we call ‘democractic’ makes for careful reading.

As the essay reveals, sadly many perpetrators of lies and deception don’t give a second thought to their corrupt abuse of ultimate power in the political arena. Some recent Tasmanian premiers would fall into that category.
