ANZ confirmed that it has finally pulled out from the Gunns deal. It had been under pressure from the conservationist for not funding the $2 billion Tasmanian pulp mill project. ANZ did not give any reason for pulling out of the deal and the Tasmanian government also refuses to comment on ANZ’s refusal. However, the Deputy Leader of Opposition states this refusal as only a minor hiccup. The Federal Environment minister Peter Garrett states that financing such a project is entirely a matter for the Gunns and not the Federal government.
