Its a bit of a stretch suggesting/implying that the Bald Hills wind-farm
brought down the OBP. The negligence of the Victorian and Federal Governments -
in turn caused by voters wishes - important in this. Bald Hills is irrelevant
to the OBP's fate.
Hopefully, as you point out, it can be used as an example to shame Governments
and ultimately the public to allocate resources to other potential extinctions
- wild Gouldian Finches?
Cheers, Graham
