A sad indictment. On top of this worst rainforest fires in history savaging the Amazon. Do we really expect to continue to populate, or survive, without water or air.

Government want to ban political donations from the gun lobby. I have no problem with that as long as they also ban such donations from those with interests in coal and gas.

Menindee fish losses.A study has found this caused by severe drought (not unprecedented), but more so by excess upstream diversion of water for irrigation, and further, prior releases of water from the Menindee Lakes.(Panel Chairman Professor Craig Moritz).

Time for our Governments to stop meddling in these systems for mates and leave it to the science and all the communities of this river and catchment system to manage.

HERITAGE PROTECTION ORDER FOR BUTTERFLY CAVE

After years of lobbying to save a sacred Aboriginal site at Lake Macquarie from development, the Federal Environment Minister has issued a declaration to protect the area.

The Awabakal Butterfly Cave at West Wallsend has long been a special meeting place for the region's Aboriginal women, but has been under threat due to encroaching development of a nearby housing estate by the Roche Group.

The Environment Minister Melissa Price has now moved to issue a declaration to protect the cave site under the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act.

The heritage protection prevents any act that could desecrate or disturb the area, including disturbing vegetation on surrounding land that could increase visibility of the cave.

The Awabakal Aboriginal Land Council said it welcomed the Minister's intervention, but was reluctant to comment further until the implications of the protection were made clear.

It says it's still uncertain what impact the declaration will have on the final stage of the Roche Group housing development, Appletree Grove Estate, or whether it'll mean any changes to the way the cave site is accessed.

The Minister's decision has been welcomed by Lake Macquarie mayor Kay Fraser who says it's been a sensitive issue for the local Indigenous community and it's wonderful to finally see action on the matter.

There exists in Australia the Australian Biodiversity Conservation Strategy: a framework to conserve our national biodiversity until 2030. Before 2017 Australia was one of only two countries in the world clear of white spot disease in indigenous prawn stocks, no longer.

In order to appease our trading neighbors, and to cater for the demands of our major food retailers, our prawn stocks and our prawning industry have been decimated, particularly in Queensland.

What is comforting, not, is the Governments of Queensland and Federally do not know how to contain it, how to control it, or how to reverse it. What they will do is lend farmers short term loans, to be repaid, to try and fix it. Bloody wonderful !!!
