I am not referring to pulp mills, or forestry, but to manufacturing, assembly and packaging, including such commodities as electronics and food. Tasmania has (or had) a reputation for the best food and wine in Australia, and Tasmania is failing dismally to capitalise on it. Sure Tasmania can rely on tourism, but there needs to be much longer term goals in play for the future which will not negatively impact on its reputation for being pure.
