Some weeks back, I wrote a piece about my grumbles with the Australian government trying to de-list a part of Tasmania’s World Heritage Forests from being listed as World Heritage.
Overnight the World Heritage Committee decided that upon consideration of this, that they reject the request.
So it’s not every day that we get to celebrate something, but this is certainly something to smile about. Finally some sense in this world!
