  1. Magistrate fines earthmoving contractor $79k over koala deaths at Victorian bluegum plantation.

    "A south west Victorian forest and earth moving business has been convicted and fined nearly $80,000 after hundreds of koalas were found in poor health or dead on a private property in 2020."

    "The erection of a fence around the site prevented the koalas from escaping the heavy machinery works. He just did what he was contracted to do. He was not aware that he has any obligations … in relation to koalas or koala spotting."
