For the sake of sustainable, long-term jobs, the Tarkine is too precious to lose.
Having successfully convinced Tony Burke to let the National Heritage Listing lapse, companies like Venture Minerals are now working as fast as they can to establish massive new open cut mines in the heart of the Tarkine. These mines will only last about a decade, making their owners a nice profit, but what then?
If we’re going to care for people and the environment that sustains us, now and into the future, this approach can’t continue. The good news is that we could protect the Tarkine, today, without threatening a single existing mining job — and that would keep Tasmania’s clean, green, future-oriented businesses thriving.
