Ian,
Have the Bimblebox finches been banded? It sounds like a variation of the
"captive bred" Peregrine Falcon conspiracy theory in pigeon fancier circles.
Most likely, though, it's Clive Palmer spreading rumours via the usual
channels
to discredit his opponents; I'm surprised that the CIA didn't rate a
mention.

Heard late one night recently during a talkback session on a fading
mainland radio station (I think 7CC?), a caller talking about
opposition to coal seem gas extraction. He stated "it was well known
that activists were responsible for releasing captive bred
Black-throated Finches into the wild at Brimblebox, to reinforce
arguments for protection". Has anyone on the list heard details and is
there any truth to this?
