Muckemup - Paperback

by Jo Hanna (Author)

'Okay, let me get this straight. The Premier says, "We're stopping native forest logging, except mining's exempt and ecological thinning," whatever that means!'

'I think you've just given yourself the answer for where to look.'

'Always follow the money.'

The government has announced an end to NATIVE FOREST LOGGING. But what does that mean for a small community where logging has been a key employer since 1919. Set in a picturesque town surrounded by remnants of ancient jarrah and karri forests that have seen loggers and greenies battle over the natural environment for decades. Meet Tara Laurel and Cass Leason, who join forces to save one of the last of the wild freshwater rivers and discover the government's plan to build a dam has far-reaching implications. Muckemup is a rollicking tale of two women who find themselves at ground zero for Machiavellian politics, reaching the highest offices in Australia.

Change is coming, and it's not what you think.
