Muckemup : how to create a water market by stealth / Jo Hanna

"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."--Back cover.
