Let's not forget that the ABC outlet and the information is from a leaked government document, so the facts quoted are those recorded from meetings involving TFS and the ministry. Interestingly, TFS is already the biggest single user of water in the NT. Aborigine projects are supposedly poorly provided for by comparison, so there is even a suggestion of unethical behaviour in the report. The water provision availability is finite. The future looks rather risky.
There should be no truth in the leak for belief by investors in the company's vision to be maintained. Because if the intention is to proceed as suggested with this NT venture, they become like explorers attempting to cross land which has defeated all who came before them. The timber investment history of Australia is strewn with failed projects based on unwise decisions and choices. E.g. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-10-...s-leave-hundreds-without-life-savings/6862060
To date TFS is about the only successful timber management/investment venture. None of us want to see that change.
