Tell me sir, why did you feel the need to clear 19Ha? Were you cleaning up ready for summer? Were you planning to use the land to crop more so as to feed more Hobartarians? Or were you planning to subdivide and build more homes? Seems to me any of the above would help the current Govts, both state and federal to offset the current social problems. And if Govts are against such things, then why? Afterall the FPA is only another Govt body doing its begging and calling. If the Premier is against the FPAs actions maybe he shouldctake steps to close it down........ Bet he wont.
