That's odd, because he usually gets at least a mention. I wonder if whoever
wrote the government press release just assumed John was part of the team
that's working with the birds now.
Is it possible to get government press releases corrected? It would be good if
the error wasn't replicated in all the newspapers.
I notice that the article about the funding on the ABC site yesterday did
mention John.
