Qld Eastern Bristlebird Breeding Program Axed

[Ian May <>]

It costs more than a few dollars to send a fully equipped climate 
research ship on an extended cruise to the Antarctic.  Just one of many 
new environmental priorities that the taxpayer is funding and the money 
has to come from somewhere.  Considering the economic recession, 
national debt and total conservation dollars available, it is apparent 
now that if the environmental subject does not directly relate to 
exciting climate change research or water allocation, money will be hard 
to find in future.
