Abstract

Do not underestimate Christine Milne. At 36 she is the youngest member in the Tasmanian parliament. One of five Green Independents who have held the balance of power in Tasmanian politics since April, she rose to political prominence through a much publicised and successful fight to save the prime rural land of Wesley Vale from environmental destruction from pulp giants North Broken Hill and Noranda.
