Great news !  As Paul says, public support will help resist
the lobby groups who will try to reduce the restrictions on
land clearing.

Queensland Premier Peter Beattie also deserves support - and
congratulations for the immediate moratorium on clearance
while the decisions are firmed up. Maybe someone can suggest
a contact point.

on a partly linked issue of agricultural run-off and the
health of the Great Barrier Reef with a draft protection
plan open for comment until July 14. See
