Dear West Coast Poly,

I notice you manufacture rainwater tanks and wondered if you could help me.I am thinking of buying a poly tank but would like to know if it can be recycled when it eventually is broken down by sunlight. I would like to think I was doing the right thing by the environment in buying a tank which can be recycled at the end of its life.

Thanks for your help

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have written to you on four occasions (26 February, 4 March, 11 March and 27 March) as an environmentally conscious member of the public seeking advice on the recyclability of the poly tanks you manufacture. I have not had the courtesy of an acknowledgement or response to any.

It appears you are trying to avoid me.

Dear WA Poly Tanks,

I notice you supply a large range of poly rainwater tanks and wondered if you could help me. I am thinking of buying a poly tank but would like to know if it can be recycled when it eventually is broken down by sunlight. I would like to think I was doing the right thing by the environment in buying a tank which can be recycled at the end of its life.

Hi Don


Where are your offices? Over East? I’ll be in Sydney in May – could we catch up to discuss this issue – I’d like to hear your point of view? Regards Gary BrockmanDirector - Omni Manufacturing Pty Ltd23 Success Way, Henderson, WA, 6166.www.omnimanufacturing.com

Hi Gary,


No, I'm in Adelaide. Don't know how comfortable you are going to be with what I'm on about. Sounds like you have an open mind though and that's what's important. My aim is to bring it out into the open for discussion and debate. Nobody wants to talk about it but its got to be faced and sorted out. Have a look through the weblog. There is a lot more going on behind the scenes. Need to know where you're coming from. Look forward to further discusions.

Regards Don
-----------------------------------------------
Regret, don’t see myself in Adelaide for a while… I’ll look at the weblog when I get a chance.

Hi Gary, I like your open-minded attitude. Keep it up. Attached are are studio information releases I am beginning to send out to the public and media. Have a think about what i am saying and what is evolving. Keep an open mind and always remember that for me the bottom line is to look for the most positive way forward with the least amount of pain. Some in the industry have taken the attitude I am a competitor and regard me as their 'enemy' out to undermine the industry. I only go on the attack to people who through their own choice are not open and honest with me and are trying to hide something or avoid me. To others like yourself who are upfront and honest with me I respect. We may not agree with each other, that's not important. What is is that we all keep an open mind and are prepared to discuss and debate. Yes? OK, a lot of people are going to be put out of their comfort zone, including myself, but to me this is the only way we are going to make the rapid and huge mindshifts and behavioural changes needed for us to get thhrough the next decade (and come out smiling). Yes? Look forward to continued positive, constructive and friendly dialogue with you Happy acclimatising to my world,


Regards Don

To: Malcolm Campbell Absan

Malcolm,

I do not appreciate the following comment you have made about me:

"I have no idea who you are but you are totally ignorant and misinformed" (9 Jan 2009)

It would seem a good idea to find out who I am before making such comments.

I would like an apology.

TEAMPOLY REFUSING TO ANSWER

subject Eco Friendly enquiry

Dear Richie,

In my local Messenger newspaper of 21 February 2009 an advertisement for Teampoly tanks them promotes them as being 'ECO FRIENDLY' (attachment). This suggests to me they can be recycled at the end of their life. Is this correct?

To: Richie Dixon Managing Director Teampoly

Richie,

I am beginning to get annoyed.

Despite already emailing you about this you are quite happy to allow your sales team to continue advertising Teampoly tanks as 'Ecofriendly' (Hills and Messenger Feb 25 2009 attached), suggesting they can be recycled at the end of their life, yet you don't have the courtesy to acknowledge and respond to my request for clarification. Once again, sales and the dollar have become more important than care for the environment and answering questions from a concerned public.

THANKYOU FOR YOUR HELP

Dear Leisa,

It has been very remiss of me not to have got back to you sooner on this. My apologies.

I wanted to thank you for all your efforts in helping to get The Great Australian Poly Tank Debate off the ground. Without your help it would not have been possible.

Your Cease and Desist started the ball rolling then your Court of Law action gave it that much-needed rocket fuel to launch the Debate. This then put the idea in my mind of a Peoples Court. We look forward to the Peoples Court vs Court of Law Debate. I hope your preparations are coming along nicely.

Thankyou one again for your support and to the members of your Association in this historic landmark environmental debate Australia is about to witness.

TO OVERCOME YOUR SHYNESS


From: Don Matthews
To: Leisa Donlan CEO ARMA
Copy to: undisclosed recipients
16 Feb 2009

Dear Leisa,

You seem rather shy in coming forward to answer my questions.

To help overcome your shyness I am going to post my questions in the form of mini debates. Look at the
http://thegreataustralianpolytankdebate weblog . You will see I have created a debate between yourself and me. I have called this 'Debate 1 Please provide evidence' This is where you get a chance to answer my questions to an Australian audience who I am inviting to come along (and bring their picnic rugs, eskys and friends).

It is important this be brought out in the open for public discussion and debate. It is just the beginning of a number of mini debates being planned for this year. I will be engaging in debate with the many others who have contacted me over the past 6 months claiming poly tanks can be recycled. It is fair because we now both have a chance to say what we think and question each other in front of an Australian audience. I can't think of anything fairer, can you?

ALL GO AT APTCIG HQ

From: APTCIG HQ
To: Ms Leisa Donlan CEO ARMA
Copy to: undisclosed recipients


Dear Ms Donlan,

Gosh, we do hope you know what you are doing.

Your move to take our leader to court over his weblog has sent him into a right tizz.

We fear here at APTCIQ when gets in one of these tizzes there's no telling what he might do. When he received your email he shot out the door under a thundercloud muttering something about "go jump". Concerned that he was going to go and jump off the nearest building we immediately contacted Clinic Ooolaalaa. Luck has it he had just arrived. Phew! Don't know what all the "go jump' was about.

You've not heard of Ooolaalaa? This is the second time our leader has scooted off to University of Maradonga's haven of rest for research-torn scientists to recuperate from shock. The first was a couple of months ago when like a bolt of lightening out of the sky came this email from Research and Development of one of the major, no, not your little fly-by-night polytankers, but a major, I mean MAJOR manufacturer, known right across the country, agreeing with our don that UV degraded poly tanks cannot be recycled. Can you believe that?

We are burning the midnight oil here at APTCIG busily constructing our Peoples Court weblog and gathering together a people's jury from all over the country. It should be an interesting battle - your Court of Law to prove you are right and our don is wrong pitted against our Peoples Court to prove you are wrong and our leader is right. It will be an interesting 'battle' to follow in tandem with the Great Australian Poly Tank Debate

We wish you all the best in your Court of Law action and hope ARMA members will consider their money well spent.

We look forward with relish to our leader's rapid return to once more take up the search for truth and the fight against suppression.
