Yes, Con,
I did not acknowledge Government, academic or volunteer contributions,
including the great work being done by our colleagues at Mulligans Flat.
My concern is that nationally, it is too little, too late and is not
keeping up with the threatening processes. Small to medium sized mammals and
frogs are generally in real trouble, and emerging issues of cattle grazing
& sporting shooters in national parks and moves to reduce “green tape” are
just alarming.
Somehow recently, environment & conservation issues seem to have
dropped off the political agenda! There was NOT ONE QUESTION to the PM
from the very well informed students on Q & A last Monday on the environment
or climate change.
Cheers,
Bruce.
