Abstract

The article reports on an Australian Federal Court's dismissal of a challenge made by the Wilderness Society against Australia government's approval for Tamar Valley pulp mill project of Tasmania. The Federal Court is also said to have issued cost against the society. The pulp mill assessment process is stated to have been challenged by the society on several grounds including a claim that Gunns Ltd. should not be allowed to withdraw from the mandated process and get an easier assessment process, that the public had a right to be heard from the mandated process and that an assessment should have been made on the impact of the mill on the forest of Tasmania. It is stated that the case was only against the process being used to assess the mill and not the mill project itself.
