This morning the man with the machine came in and drilled a series of holes along the fence line for ACTEW.
Assuming either an electricity line or water pipe is to be taken along that fence line, it can only be done with the destruction of all of the abovementioned habitat.
Is there no end to the environmental destruction going on in the ACT?
