During the greatest health and economic challenge in more than a generation, jobs are more important than ever. Every job counts.
This year we have seen a significant escalation in threatening radical protest actions from extremist groups. Unfortunately on a regular basis, Tasmanians are being threatened and harassed for simply going about their legal or everyday work.
Today, the Bob Brown Foundation have launched their latest protest action invading the work site of a mining company on the West Coast directly threatening the rights of Tasmanians working at Venture Minerals’ Riley Creek operation.
I am advised that these extremist protestors have invaded the work site interfered with vehicles on site and attached themselves to poles in the vehicles.
Professor Gregory Nolan from the Centre for Sustainable Architecture with Wood from the University of Tasmania, and Britton Timbers managing director Shawn Britton will present a webinar on Tasmanian veneer on 2nd March 2021. The discussion will be followed by a Q&A session.
Highly sought after in the interior design industry for a broad range of applications, Tasmanian veneers have proven their versatility on beautiful furniture as well as custom doors and cabinetry. Preferred for its uniformity, veneer is perfect for covering vast expanses with a consistent look, particularly in large commercial fitouts. Veneer is often matched with solid-sawn timber of the same species in furniture, joinery and lining applications to facilitate a seamless colour palette.
