Climate raid on COAG

MEDIA RELEASE

CLIMATE CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION SQUAD RAID COAG CONFERENCE

30th April,2009, 8:30am
Mercure Hotel, Bathurst Street, Hobart.

Officers from the Climate Crime Scene Investigation unit (CCSI) will be conducting raids on major climate crime cartels beginning with the Council of Australian Governments (COAG ) conference at the Mercure Hotel in Hobart.

Investigators are pursuing leads  indicating that heads of organised climate crime from all over Australia are assembling in Hobart under the guise of the Council of Australian Governments. The members of COAG are wanted for questioning in relation to criminal inaction against environmental degredation and accelerating climate change on local and national fronts.

“The Climate Crime Scene Investigation unit are acting upon information which suggests that perpetrators of climacide such as Forestry Tasmania and Gunns Ltd. have been receiving direct instructions  from the single largest climate crime organisation in Australia, COAG. We have identified the chairman of COAG, Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, and unsavoury climacide operative, Tasmanian Premier David Bartlett, as being key decison makers in the ongoing Tasmanian ecocide. ” said CCSI media liason officer Ali Alishah. 

“Interstate agencies have also gathered evidence incriminating other State Premiers attending the conference as being high ranking climate criminals in their own states and abroad. These individuals are wanted for immediate detention and deportation for prosecution in their home states.” said Mr. Alishah.

“Internal documents uncovered at Forestry Tasmania's Hobart office contain crucial evidence of an ongoing climate crime, with a 2007 MBAC report demonstrating that, by 2030, the logging of Tasmania's commercial native forest estate will result in the loss of 28% of the carbon that is currently safely stored as living forest. COAG  while possessing full knowledge has been criminally ineffective in halting this.” Mr. Alishah said.

“By nationally pursuing the option of coal and wood-fired power stations COAG is actively contributing to an increase in carbon emissions. The Prime Minister’s plan of an unconditional 5% reduction in carbon pollution below 2000 levels by 2020 is not enough and local governments continue to initiate carbon intensive projects such as the proposed wood-fired power station at Southwood and the Tamar Valley pulp mill whilst continuing large scale clearfell and burn regimes in native forests.” Mr. Alishah said.

 "Climate crimes such as these impose a serious cost on the entire community and the CCSI unit is dedicated to bringing the perpetrators to justice" concluded Mr Alishah.
