		Moreover, when Gunns Limited uses large scale aerial spraying of poisons, there is a real possibility that the said poisons may drift by means of sometimes violent and unpredictable air currents to surrounding property.
		Gunns Limited is failing in its duty of care in relation to the regulation of and containment of noxious materials that present:
		In addition, we deplore the idea that Gunns Limited and any other forestry interests can be so singled out for special legislative treatment that permits them to achieve cost-effective outcomes that meets their corporate objectives by passing the downstream costs and adverse consequences onto their neighboring community and industries.

		Gunns recently issued a legal action for damages against a number of individuals and groups who had opposed the company’s activities.

		These deals saw Gunns become Tasmania’s only woodchipping company, exporting 5.5 million tonnes of woodchips from Tasmania per year, with almost half derived from old growth forests including the Styx Valley of the Giants where the world’s tallest flowering eucalypts live.
		Gunns’ success can be explained in part by parliamentary processes, which have guaranteed it continued access to Tasmania’s old growth forests, and have managed to diffuse the influence of their green antagonists.
		And there is no doubt that all these events have transpired to propel Gunns to their position as king of the Australian woodchip pile.
