silk purses into sows' ears?
We are not given to reporting scuttlebutt but in this instance we heard the original story from Forestry Tasmania employees and have since heard the same repeated by several other sources.

eighth wonder of the modern world to some..... an abomination in the eyes of others..... Forestry Tasmania headquarters in Scottsdale |
The story goes that Forestry Tasmania obtained a $1.4M grant from the federal government and added $0.6M of their own to put up new premises worthy of their perceived importance in Scottsdale. That adds up to a cool two million, right?
Construction took the usual couple of years but before they moved in Forestry sold the building to private enterprise for $0.75M, taking a $1.25M loss. Then they turned around and leased the building from the new owners.
If this is Forestry Tasmania's idea of 'Growing our future', we can only pray that they cease the growing. Like right now.
