Saul Eslake produced some interesting statistics on Tasmania and some pertinent analyses thereof, but he studiously ignored the dinosaur in the garden.

One wonders if this is related to Saul’s employment by the rumoured financier of the Gunns pulp mill. The mill will stretch Tasmania’s lead as the fastest liquidator of its natural environment in the industrialised world, at considerable financial detriment of its population. Not exactly the sort of situation to attract those of the “creative classes” not already deterred by the likes of Eric Abetz or Rough Red.

Uruguay, mentioned in Saul’s speech as a Third World banana sweatshop, is sufficiently sentient to be up in arms about a proposed Kraft bleaching pulp mill slightly smaller than the Gunns mill.

Saul might well have mentioned a political establishment so rotten as to negate all the potential the state might have for creative minds.
