There should be no surprise Don Burke has joined Gunns.

The self-described "practical environmentalist" (perhaps in the manner of John Howard's "practical reconciliation") was until earlier this year head of the "Australian Environment Foundation"

An Institute of Public Affairs-linked group of climate change denialists, opponents of landclearing restrictions and nuclear power and timber industry supporters.

Burke has described the environmental movement as "obsolete"
and "the greatest threat to the world's environment".

Gunns received an award from the Foundation in 2006 for grasslands
management and protection of an endangered butterfly

Gunns has also provided funding to the IPA.
