Today Paul Harriss, Minister for Resources, made a statement to the Tasmanian Parliament further detailing his Government’s moves to return Tasmania to the bad old days of forest subsidies and conflict.

And supporting his statement were numerous misleading platitudes about "agreement", some of which appeared to reference the Tasmanian Forest Agreement, which his own Government repealed.

In opposition, Premier Will Hodgman was very big on his 'open for business' rhetoric.

But now in government, it's becoming apparent that what Mr Hodgman meant was: Tasmania, open for subsidies.
