THE SWANS ARE DEAD paper by Robert (Bob) McMahon

The paper, "THE SWANS ARE DEAD" by Robert (Bob) McMahon, is in seven parts and it is now available as a print friendly download via TPMT. The paper came out of experiences, and an issue of contention, in Chile that have resonances in Tasmania and the Tamar Valley specifically. It has been published in order to:
1. Allow people to spread the word and use the information freely;
2. Encourage Tasmanians to think seriously about what’s at stake when all too little attention is paid to the ways natural resources are exploited;
3. Encourage Tasmanians to think seriously before allowing any large company to take advantage of their resources; and
4. in the whole process, pay more than scant regard to Tasmania's resources and their true value.

Needless to say, the paper’s publication was sparked by the imminent publication of the Gunns Draft IIS. The paper can also be read online and there is a companion DVD with video footage shot and collected by Bob in Chile in April 2006.
