24.01.2022 I would be excited except they are exploring for deep ocean mining research as well :( https://www.abc.net.au//chinese-sub-reaches-deepe/12932462

22.01.2022 When the Forestry Corporation identified they intended to start logging Bungabbee State Forest near Lismore in north east NSW in November, NEFA decided to organise a group of flora and fauna experts to undertake a brief survey with the primary aims of identify localities of threatened species and priority habitat areas for protection.. Our brief visit revealed the additional presence of the Vulnerable Long-nosed Potoroo and Marbled Frogmouth, as well as the Critically Endange...red Native Guava. We identified records for 173 threatened plants. The finding of a large unknown outlying population of the regionally endemic Marbled Frogmouth is exciting. This is one of only a handful of species that the Forestry Corporation is still required to look for ahead of logging and protect additional habitat for, in this case wider stream buffers. Though as their model did not predict its occurrence in Bungabbee, they didn't have to look there. Luckily we did. It was particularly disturbing to find significant populations of the Critically Endangered Scrub Turpentine and Native Guava. The very survival of these species is in doubt because of the introduced fungus Myrtle Rust. There is something fundamentally wrong when we allow logging amongst species teetering on the brink of extinction, with low prospects of regeneration, rather than doing all we can to save them. Our results clearly demonstrate the need for pre-logging assessments to identify those parts of forests most in need of permanent protection, rather than allowing the Forestry Corporation to pick those areas with the lowest timber values. Most importantly they prove that Bungabee State Forest is of exceptional importance and should be added to the reserve system.

21.01.2022 Another hopefully positive story, especially for those of us old enough to remember the (successful) battle to save the Lord Howe Island woodhen. https://www.theguardian.com//orange-bellied-parrot-best-ye

17.01.2022 Council is developing a new Lismore Waste & Recycling Strategy to guide long-term solutions for resource recovery, recycling and waste management. Waste management is a key service provided by Council and a major component of Council's annual budget. It is important that we have a strategy for the delivery of these services that meets the expectations of our community in relation to cost, service delivery and a vision for recycling and waste management. The first step to crea...ting an effective strategy is to listen to our community. We want to hear your thoughts and suggestions to help us shape the future of waste and recycling in our region. https://yoursay.lismore.nsw.gov.au/lismore-waste-strategy

07.01.2022 BREAKING: North QLD locals halt work at Adani’s coal port in Bowen! Right now, Rupert and Jeanette are stopping coal conveyor belts from loading coal onto ships... at Adani's Abbot Point Port, effectively delaying coal from being exported today. Their elbow lock-ons read ‘People Power,’ referring to their messaging of wanting more people to take part in direct action to stop destructive industries from polluting the planet. Head to http://frontlineaction.org/register and join this movement to disrupt the coal industry today!

We need fresh eyes looking at green powered desalination, roof water harvesting, reuse of water and of course water efficiency.’": Simon Clough 4 years; Duncan Dey 4 years; Ros Irwin 8 years, 2 as chair; Richard Staples 13 years. ‘Between us we have 29 years of experience on Rous County Council'.

04.01.2022 "Rous Future Water 2060 is a flawed document in terms of content Drought-resilience was considered in the 2020 Coarse Options" "Curiously, while the report notes that there may be issues of community acceptance for desalination and indirect potable reuse, a dam that would destroy an Endangered Ecological Community, threatened species habitat and Cultural Heritage is presented as if acceptance can be obtained through a magical process of ‘mitigation’ and ‘offsets’. "
