Only clue in all that, the gender.

Camilla would like to know if this is a Mr. or Mrs. Nudger.

How simply fascinating, the departure of Mr Montgomery from the corridors of old-growth conservatism and the inner sanctum of this state’s boys-own forestry industry.

I applaud his optimism in thinking that he could hack through the cigar smoke, put up with the hopeless political incorrectness and actually begin the process of dragging this industry into the 21st century, but I am not remotely surprised that it in the end, it was all too much; the egos were too big, the profit margins were too wide, the pockets for pissing in were too deep, on and on and on it goes.

With any luck these mendacious minions of government policy, these timid miscreant sultans of spin, will implode after the hot air they release with their empty platitudes ignites from the heat of yet another aggressive yet fully unavoidable regeneration burn, and leave those of us who really give a shit to carry on with our tireless efforts to save the planet.

I suppose it’s too much to ask for Monty to have had an epiphany to accompany this arrival at basic common sense, and lend his services to a grass-roots community organisation who would be both appreciative and welcoming of his insider knowledge — like TRAC, for example, the Tamar Residents Action Committee.  Of course, I’m probably barking up the wrong tree.
