Swim......anti-pulp mill protest at Brady's Lookout.....Gunns phone survey...........Mckim must clarify Greens position on pulp mill no confidence motion

Nice swim at Riverside this a.m 2.4km. Frustrating at the moment as my swimming pace has dropped off from recent years. I'm close to 1 minute down over a km on where i'm used to being. For years i've been able to comfortably roll through 1km in around 15 minutes but at present i'd have to push very hard to break 16. Thats what happens when the training tapers off. Could be worse i suppose. Just need to knuckle down and the speed will return.

On the way to swimming i noticed anti-pulp mill group TAP congregating on Bradys Lookout for a protest. The media appeared to be in attendance so keep you eye on the local news tonight. Little birdy told me there was nother anti-mill protest on the Longreach site today. Will keep an eye out for that one also. Great work from all these protesters. Very few people you talk to in Launceston want the mill to go ahead in the Tamar. The sooner it is put to death and our region can focus on other less polluting job creating projects the better.

Little birdy told me tonight that Gunns are conducting a phone survey. If the bastards ring me during my dinner, why i'll.............

Mckim must clarify the understanding arrived at in yesterdays party room meeting.
Its time for Mckim to follow the courageous Kim Booth and in the long tradition of Green parliamentary warriors like Peg Putt, Bob Brown and Christine Milne, nail his colors to the mast.

Mckim needs to clarify whether he has in fact left the door open to a no confidence motion if the Tasmanian government gives further taxpayer support to the mill, as per Kim Booths definition of malfeasance and corruption?  If not, is the announcement about a Pulp Mill assessment act repeal bill, (which will inevitably be defeated), the harmless trade off by Mckim intended to placate Kim Booth and pulp mill opponenents?
