The Greens
The Greens evolved out of people's need to be represented at a
political level. People needed a voice for environmental protection,
social justice, sensible resource manangement and a commitment
to the future. The traditional two party system did not satisfy
these all-impotant and crucial needs so, through the motivation
of ordinary, and sincere people, The Greens evolved.

Timber Workers for Forests
Many people most angry at the current forest practices in Tasmania
are timberworkers themselves! A group of sawmillers, wooden boat
builders, builders, contractors and craftspeople recently banded
together to form Timber Workers for Forests. This group has been
highly influential and, importantly, has proposed credible alternatives
to the high volume, low value added industrial forestry model
favoured by big industry and governments.
