Every Tasmanian voter is over-represented by 19 parliamentary representatives. We have more than anywhere else in Australia yet we are the poorest state in Australia. Most politicians really represent corporations and banks before their own electorates. They want to prop-up the tax base before they worry about the people that vote for them. Personal letters carry a lot of weight with politicians. Most politicians hate being contacted by their own electors even though they are highly paid by the taxpayers. Tasmania has a ridiculous, archaic system of government that rewards professional parasites.

tips for letter writing
Pen a few words about your concerns over the proposed pulp mill and ask what they are doing to protect your interests. Ask for acknowledgement of your email and for a guarantee of compensation for the risks to you or your business from the mill.
Phone calls to local, state and federal members are effective too. Demand help from your politicians.
Make an appointment to see your elected representative to tell them how the proposed pulp mill will affect you.
