Secret meetings

The media stories on ‘secret’ meetings between Gunns and Bob Brown and Wilderness Society were leaked to the media by someone just ahead of Gunns Annual General Meeting 11 November 2009. The stories frame Gunns as conciliatory and willing to talk with opponents. It is more in Gunns’ interest to have leaked the story than the Greens or TWS in order to mitigate a potentially fiery AGM. Further evidence that they cannot be trusted! Gunns proposed a private meeting with Bob McMahon of TAP last month but this was rejected because he knew it would be misused. If the purpose is to exchange views and information, there is more than one way to do it. Denis

Gunns Meetings

But is it not true that members of TAP have had private meetings with John Gay and Francis Duffy of Gunns? So why does this website frame TWS and Greens meetings with Gunns as errors yet Mr Mcmahons course of action as the right one whilst omitting the fact that TAP have also conducted private meetings with Gunns?

Secret Meetings

The information in this 'Secret Meetings' article doesn't not include details about other meetings held with John Gay. For the benefit of providing those who access this site with a clearer understanding of the issues involved in such meetings, could TAP expand on Denis's short article?

Denis,

That is not evidence but rather an argument based on conjecture. I'm all for gathering evidence but let's keep it factual.
