We can’t, and won’t, let it become the ‘Tasmanian tiger’ of the sea.

The Maugean skate #population is rapidly declining, dropping up to 47% between 2014 and 2021. They are one extreme weather event away from extinction. We need to #ActNow. Federal Environment Minister Tanya #Plibersek has the power to protect this unique creature for years to come, by ensuring the following happens:

- Restore the health of #MacquarieHarbour so that oxygen levels are restored

If there is one issue that makes me a Greens supporter it's the knowledge that Austrialian Labor party accepts political donations from fossil-fuel companies and seems to give their planet wrecking industries carte blanche to extract as much as they like. The relationship is way too cosy. Labor are piss weak on climate action. They appear to think that their mandate is to continue wrecking the planet with abandon. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/feb/21/making-climate-crisis-worse-greens-blast-labor-after-queensland-coal-seam-gas-expansion-approved

Federal Environment Minister Tanya #Plibersek quietly approved a #Santos gas project which will operate until 2077.

Plibersek’s tick of approval was posted online at 4.55pm yesterday.

The fracking project is in the Surat Basin, south-west of Gladstone, and public comments back in 2021 listed threatened species and impact on water resources as two major concerns. #auspol #ClimateEmergency :BIGOZ:
