Can you help spread this message of colonial domination by Australia? They are voting on this right now, and no one here has even heard of it.

PLEASE HELP get this issue into a newspaper somewhere!

"You're looking at clear-cut logging some of the oldest growth rainforest in the world. In Tasmania, the largest of the 600 species of Eucalyptus trees found in Australia, and some of the tallest standing hardwood trees in the world, are being felled. The timber is ground up into wood chips, and the wood chips are sold to make paper in Asia. Pulped."
