The Bell Bay Pulp Mill

The Tasmanian Division of the Australian Democrats feel that the Tasmanian people, and people of the Tamar Valley in particular, were denied the normal due diligence and open process that should have been applied to the approval of the proposed Gunns pulp mill to be built in Bell Bay.

We believe there is one opportunity to right this wrong. We believe that the issue of whether the pulp mill should go ahead should be put to a referendum.

We're Rebuilding.

Every great comeback story is built around ingenuity, focus, and hard work. Often, these stories feature people who simply refuse to stay down or stay quiet when it's time to defend what's right.

The Australian Democrats are coming back.
