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.

There was some very nice footage of a singing EBB in the segment.

Dear All,

On the ABC's 7.30 Report tonight there was an interesting item. The Queensland, government in it's wisdom, has cancelled it's captive breeding program for the Eastern Bristlebird. It seems that the poor old Bristlebird is a victim of the global economic downturn. The Qld Government's line is that it is better to concentrate on habitat conservation and let the BB fend for itself. John Young appeared on the segment and spoke out strongly against the cancellation.

The segment can be viewed at http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/
