Jon Nott has asked me to post the following message. Cheers,
Keith.
Now that Stephen
Garnett is back from his Christmas holiday he assures me he never ever saw
the permit application to collect Bowerbirds by Lainey Day. In fact when he was shown a subsequent application to
collect more Bowerbirds by another researcher he rejected it out of hand.
I apologise for any embarrassment that
this may have caused Stephen but Peter Hennsler from Queensland Parks and
Wildlife Service stated to me categorically that he had shown Lainey Days'
permit application to collect Bowerbirds to office staff including Stephen
Garnett. Obviously this was not the case.
