Gidday Friends.
I write to you today to ask for you to stand tall and be counted.
We have been sold a lemon in the guise of the proposed pulp mill.
This proposed mill, if you believe the vested interests, has no inherit negative value.
All that it will consume and expel is positive for us and our planet.
Clearly this fallacy lies only in the minds of the money men and their servants.
In Tasmania there is no chance to carry the voice of the voiceless.
To this end a remarkable individual Richard Butler , a former Rowella local, has dug deep and is putting together a photographic portraiture which when completed will be touring the mainland and beyond to raise awareness of the third world effigy to greed that is being foisted upon us.
Here in Tasmania we have 0.5 million people with a restrictive media. On the big rock 20.0 million people with an appetite for bad news of which this pulp mill proposal qualifies.
What a chance!!!!!
This exhibition will contain portraits of ordinary people like you and I.
This will be a monthly exercise until Richard has completed his work.
The April sessions are full so book yourself in for May.
This is an opportunity to gain massive exposure on mainland Australia, a chance for the ordinary to become the extraordinary.
We must hold this steamrolled juggernaut to account; we must show the world the injustice we endure.
Please contact Jan at desweld10@bigpond.com and she will organise an appointment for you for your literal ten minutes of fame….that is all it will take!!
Thank you for your solidarity and commitment to our wellbeing and that of our children and for those extraordinarily lucky like me, our grandchildren.
