Well if people want yet another side to this story, there is also this one: from
Greg Roberts
Management plans to bring the Night Parrot back from the brink will need to be revamped and the birding community is set to be deeply divided after Australia's
biggest private conservation group controversially dismissed a raft of records of the critically endangered bird claimed by north Queensland naturalist John Young.

And don’t involve me. I don’t know the true story or any of the closely involved people (at least in this context) and therefore I am not in a position to take
sides. It is a sad dispute. John Young is and has long been clearly an exceptionally skilled field observer but some aspects of his presentation in Canberra a few years ago and the story are quite strange.

Further to Bill's email the 'horses mouth' can be seen here. Not a great look, but better now than never.
