Shake Up At Gunns: Too Little, Too Late
The Wilderness Societys Executive Director Alec Marr said Gunns Limiteds old,
destructive business practices were likely to continue when chairman John Gay stands
down to run a new company that includes the Bell Bay pulp mill.
Mr Gay and Robin Gray represent the worst of Gunns destructive business practices.
Allowing Mr Gay to run another company with the pulp mill as its main focus is simply the
same old business methods under a different name, Mr Marr said.
Allowing Mr Gay to continue to run a forestry business in Tasmania runs against the best
interests of Tasmanians.
What Tasmanians want is an end to the destruction of the states natural heritage and for
Gunns to shift on to a sustainable business footing, which requires an end to the old
business practices under Mr Gay.
