It's a #WorldHeritage area + yet NSW Gov't planning to raise Warragamba Dam and flood/destroy habitat of critically endangered Regent honeyeater. A species under threat from land clearing, the last thing it needs is its dwindling habitat drowned #auspol abc.net.au/sydney/program…

Those familiar with the lake country, Walls of Jerusalem and Traveller Range will understand the sheer scale of the noise impacts from this proposal (shown on map). Silence smashed across a vast area of wild, peaceful country. For what? #auspol #politas Tanya Plibersek

Turns out people don’t want to see the world heritage area exclusively leased and turned into a helipad for the rich. Record breaking number of submissions so far. Can you make it 4000 before the 19th of October? wilderness.good.do/malbena2022/wi… #politas #auspol #WildOz

60 years on since Silent Spring, David Pocock enters the debate on food and pesticides theguardian.com/australia-news…

The Aboriginal Community has been clear on opposition to this dev't &, while the project should be abandoned, its good to again get our view on the record Unless you've got the $$ to be in it, choppers impact on all other users, incl. our people seeking to connect with Culture

More #politas Gov't excuses NOT to return 'Unallocated Crown Land' that the Crown stole & will today be before Parli for a tenure change Instead - it'll mislead Parli in its motion, ignore a formal claim made almost 2 yrs ago & mostly deliver the lowest possible reserve grades

Special screening of Franklin - on the exact day, 40 years ago: 1) Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area was declared World Heritage & 2) The Franklin Blockade began Hear direct from film-maker, the legend that is Oliver Cassidy. fan-force.com/screenings/fra…

Disappointing to see govt & opposition collectively fail to seize multiple historic upsides from kooparoona niara national park proposal. Aboriginal land return, park management opportunities, tourism, conservation - all dudded at once. wilderness.org.au/news-events/if… #politas

#Politas fail on opportunity for land returns + acknowledging outstanding universal value of kooparoona niara/GWT. Ignores tas treaty report, ignores the world heritage centre, ignores its own consultation and 97% of community that want national park protection.

#kunanyi cable car is again rejected, this time by the Planning Tribunal Thanks to the thousands who have suported the campaign to protect kunanyi, donated $$ for the legal defense & stood up to say no Surely this is the end - the proponent must walk away & leave kunanyi alone

Dam decommissioning is rising globally; The US have dismantled 1500+ dams since ‘98, to restore river health & for safety, & in 2021 a record number of dams were removed across Europe. ‘Ghosts of capitalism’: the push to dismantle America’s decrepit dams theguardian.com/us-news/2022/n…

We're in Parli today & after briefing Leg Co Members on the kooparoona niara National Park - now observing the #politas debate Watch here parliament.tas.gov.au/TBS/LCvideo.ht… There is merit & moral imperative in Parli returning unceeded land & the NP tenure is a new & iconic opportunity

Imagine a world where the #politas Gov't delivers on what it says is a priority & abandons excuses in exchange for action We're not there yet... A kooparoona niara Nat Park sits unrealised & Aboriginal pleas for justice on land go through to the keeper We will keep fighting

Is private development in parks really about ‘experiencing wilderness’ or simply tourism organisations and land managers trying to cash in on the Ecotourism boom? keepitwild.com.au/the-threat-of-…

Clearfelling right at World Heritage boundary - mostly for woochips. Inc giant trees with hollows in them. Is this forest destruction to make your toilet paper, printing paper, packaging, timber? It's hard to tell. In fact, it's impossible. #politas
