INDUSTRIAL HEMP FIBRE PRODUCTION Where is the Tasmanian Government feasibility study of Industrial Hemp Fibre production in Tasmania? Surely this should be pursued as a viable and sustainable alternative to the wood-chip market? Wouldn't this make lots of jobs for Forestry Tasmania workers? Just a thought. The Forestry Industry -vs- The Environment is a false dichotomy. We can have a sustainable forestry (and hemp) industry (Malcolm Turnbull read "Jobs and Growth") and preserve high conservation value (and Tourism value $$$) forests at the same time. Move forward. Hemp-crete construction could provide fire-resistant, high Government energy rating, low cost housing in areas such as Tasman Peninsula, Bruny Island and the Huon.

Mural for Chigwell Community. This is the first public mural I have painted since I was physically assaulted in Glenorchy bus mall in 2014. I was punched in my face and the back of my head several times. After the attack I was too scared to take the bus to Bridgewater to visit my father who was dying. My dad died in September 2015. Painting this mural was good for me, I'm slowly regaining my confidence in public spaces. Even though I know that I could meet my attacker again.
