Tasmania and other Australian states are now the new 'third world nations'.

The Fundamental Flaw in the Development Model of the World Managers. (i)
too large a share of the earnings on foreign investment flows out of the
country; (ii) resulting economic growth does not translate into local
employment, housing, education, medical services etc; (iii) inequality comes
to mean famine, epidemic and certain death for millions of people thus
inequality acquires the status of political crises; (iv) the poor countries
became significantly poorer between 1900 and 1970. Result: even some of
the most right-wing governments, in 1974, were embarking on a nationalistic
course designed to keep more of the profits earned by global corporations
inside the country and available for its most urgent development needs.
Example, Brazil.

'Global Reach - The Power f the Multinational Corporations' by Richard J
Barnet & Ronald E Muller. Publisher Simon and Schuster'. 1974. SBN
671-21835-2 Casebound. Pages 190. Chapter 8: 'The Power of the Poor'

and here's the context of this forest rape (download the mp3):

"I think most of us know that, and it's going to get very ugly, very soon,
and I want to say to you tonight, it's not the problem, it's actually just a
symptom of the problem. We're operating at 120% of the world's capacity and
planning to growth that a lot more."
The great disruption. Paul Gilding. 14th June 2009

> Federal Agriculture Minister Tony Burke, who is also forestry minister,

> to the rural areas.
> While
> recent MIS failures were "rightly" under scrutiny, "it should be
> recognised that forestry MIS has fostered significant investment in
> regional communities," Mr Burke said.
> But Victorian Farmers Federation president Andrew Broad said Mr Burke had
> ignored the full impact on the bush.
> "He might be technically right about the investment, but the question is:
> at what cost?" Mr Broad said.
> "MISs have decimated some rural communities and put trees on prime farm
> land at the expense of food production."
> Mr Broad said the tax concessions for MISs should be scrapped.
> "Anything
> that puts the family farm at a disadvantage is not what VFF stands for.
> All we're asking for is a level playing field."
> MIS critic and head of Sustainable Agricultural Communities Australia,
> Robert Belcher, said Mr Burke's comments were a "national disgrace".
> "If trees are so bloody good, why do tax-payers have to prop them up?"
> Mr Belcher said the Government was a captive of an "unholy alliance"
> between the forestry industry and the powerful Construction, Forestry,
> Mining and Energy Union, to push for plantation development.
> "I'm just appalled with the handling of this issue on both sides of
> parliament," he said.
> In his ministerial statement Preparing our Forest Industries for the
> Future, Mr Burke also:
> flagged
> a government review of the "most appropriate investment model" for
> forestry, once administration proceedings and two federal parliamentary
> inquiries into recent MIS collapses were completed;threw his support
> behind the controversial Gunns pulp mill proposal in Tasmania, pending a
> federal environmental tick;said the Government would push for carbon
> embedded in wood products to be recognised in world carbon trading
> rules.Peak timber and paper industry bodies - A3P, National Association of
> Forest Industries and Timber Communities Australia - all welcomed Mr
> Burke's statement.
> Australian Agribusiness Group director Tim Lee said MISs had created jobs,
> boosted regional development and put "quality assets" on the ground.
> At a NSW Farm Writers' lunch last week, Mr Lee said MISs were not all
> about up-front tax breaks and made an overall contribution to tax coffers.
