At its peak, Gunns Ltd had a market value of $1 billion, was listed on the ASX 200, was the largest employer in Tasmania and its largest private landowner.
Most of its profits came from woodchipping, mainly from clear-felled old-growth forests. A pulp mill was central to its expansion plans. Its collapse in 2012 was a major national news story, as was the arrest of its CEO John Gay for insider trading. Quentin Beresford illuminates for the first time the dark corners of the Gunns empire.
