Hung parliaments

Has the hung parliament in Tasmania finally managed to bring peace to our forests after 30 years of conflict?  It seems increasingly likely that there will be an end to old growth forest logging with compensation for those leaving the industry, now that the government, Forestry Tasmania and Gunns Ltd have signed off on a state/federal government agreement.   Would this have happened, if it were not  the fact that we now have a Green/Labor government?


And will it be a federal hung parliament that finally succeeds in bringing in  a price on carbon?
