LHLisa, welcome to a democratic society! The same is happening in the port of Gladstone. Dredging and environmental raping sanctioned and allowed by government with consequences starting to appear 12 or so months into the projects. Fish are dying, ****e is being stirred up from the bottom of the ocean bed, fishermen are being put out of business and the sociological divide in Gladstone is increasing. Why? So China can fuel it's hunger for energy and feed it's needs from Australian resources and the government can profit as well as big business.
I can't wait to see Gladstone in 20 years time. No doubt we will be remembering the 'gateway to the Great Barrier Reef' and reading book about how pristine it once was before the city was turned into The Murray River.
The best politician is one in a pine box. Fu
kers.
