Logging to threaten Greater Glider
The United Nations recently released the biggest ever review of the state of nature on Earth.
It advises one million species are threatened with extinction unless we immediately change the way we exploit our environment.
Australia is a world leader when it comes to pushing species into extinction, especially through deforestation.
A flying marsupial called the Greater Glider is officially listed as threatened with extinction. Multiple scientifically verified sightings of the cute critter have been made in the mountain ash slope overlooking the pretty tourist town of Noojee.
Yet the government-owned VicForests intends to clearfell the slope knowing that it will kill all the gliders living within it, not to mention all the other animals that will die.
Please ring our state Minister for the Environment, Lily D'Ambrosio, on 9637 9504; and tell her to stop VicForests' environmental vandalism. Lindsay Nicholson, Noojee
My documented complaint of February 18, 2018 to Russell Broadbent, the then Member for McMillan only initiated a many months long bureaucratic evasion saga which repeatedly restated the the original unaccountable flawed decision.
Mr Broadbent merely referred, but plainly did not press, my complaint to the Minister for Home Affairs.
A March 19 letter per Mr Broadbent from Alan Tudge, then Minister for Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs in repeating the original flawed decision advised that another visa application could be made.
"Take your country back" was a slogan used by Nigel Farage in Britain, the US and in Australia last September. We need to take it back from highly salaried party politicians indifferent to the legitimate concerns of constituents and arrogant unaccountable publicly salaried bureaucrats who are plainly contemptuous of mere Australian citizens.
Earlier this year it was reported that Border Force personnel under the auspices of Home Affairs had refused Australian entry to Saudi women asylum seekers and in some instances had reinforced Saudi Islamic misogyny by questioning their lack of an accompanying male guardian.
