THE TAPPER ACTION APPROACH


TAPPER ACTION is looking for more people to join our intuitive for fundamental change. That is, people who are prepared to act, or prepared to fund those who are willing to act effectively on their behalf, to neutralise the economic insanity currently being adhered to by Tasmanian politicians of ALL persuasions.

The proposed Gunns pulp mill is but one example of “political economic recalcitrance” in Tasmania. There are other examples, but the political and social discourse surrounding this particular issue is of the moment.

TAPPER ACTION is not committed to investing everything in street marches or public rallies. Why? Because, in the case of the pulp mill issue, street marches and public rallies:

• Have not worked or delivered in ways that encourage an ‘intelligent’ discourse that exposed the ‘real’ issues/problems, at least not all of them, to do with the pulp mill proposal;

• In regard to the pulp mill issue in particular, marches and rallies get to be taken over by self serving one dimensional thinking … the Wilderness Society in particular but others too;

• Are not the kind of activities that promote multi dimensional ideas ... rather they are the venues for the proliferation of simplistic one dimensional slogans.

TAPPER ACTION is committed to initiating and promoting actions that actually WORK and that expose the economic folly that so much of the political debate that is currently in play promotes. And in Tasmania in particular this is a problem.

TAPPER ACTION will not give unqualified support for any particular political party or organization but will support debate around economic concepts, perhaps new ideas, which ACTUALLY address the full dimension of the economic dilemmas currently being faced by Tasmanians, Australians and indeed ‘world citizenry’.

Please use the comment section below to demonstrate your support or otherwise for this initiative, we believe new initiative, for meaningful changes in economic rationalism!
