Dear Mr Tony Burke, MP,

I don't expect that this letter in and of itself will make a jot of difference to the decision you have made to support the Gunns pulp mill project.
The fact that you lifted and used, word for word, company propaganda which has been long since debunked as blatant confabulation in your sales pitch to foreign investors, suggests that whatever relationship you have with Mr Gay is well and truly established.
You appear to represent the forces that are behind the steady and conscious erosion of quality in our natural world.
You are short term fiscal gain at the expense of my kid's future.
You are the merchant mentality gone mad.
You are economic fundamentalism.
You are the sale of life and breath for profit.
This much is obvious and in that you are not alone. You are surrounded by peers of your own ilk. Why, you probably believe most people think like you because you might not meet those who think otherwise very often, and when you do, they are shouting their message at you from an AFP maintained distance.
Am I right?
Just know, Mr Burke, that you are not a representative of the majority. You might not care what happens to a world that you won't have to live in for more than a few more decades, but being a politician you might care how you will be remembered in history.
Make no mistake Mr. Burke, moves are afoot to ensure that men like you are forever connected, personally, with the decisions that they make whilst in the offices that we, the people, award them.
For too long your class of person have massaged the machinery of mnemonic impunity.
No longer.
You might have gone to school with or joined the same clubs as the men who run the corporations that are eating our future... However, for once, why don't you try something different.
Do what's right for all of our futures instead of hiding behind the pathetic and discredited pseudo-excuses of "jobs" and "economy" to justify your decisions to act in support of your peers investment portfolios.
The age of mnemonic impunity is past. You will be remembered Mr. Burke.
Will it be as the man who sold our inheritance for short term gain and favours to mates? Or will it be as a man in that rarefied strata of leaders who acted to protect something for those who are not yet amongst us.
Don't forget, they will remember you too.

Yours, very sincerely,,
