Creating diversified revenue streams out of 'The koala park' -
carbon credits and logging?
Nature as cash cow"A long-promised New South Wales great koala national park is set to go ahead after the Albanese government greenlit the state to receive hundreds of millions of dollars for protecting native forests previously earmarked for logging."
"...Polluting companies are allowed to buy an unlimited number of credits – also known as offsets – to count as their own cuts while continuing to pollute. Scientists have warned limiting the climate crisis requires rapid direct cuts in emissions and that carbon offsets should be used sparingly."
"NSW Greens MP Sue Higginson said the logging industry was unprofitable and the government should end it regardless of carbon credit revenue. “Reducing our forests in NSW to cash cows and offsets for climate polluters … sends a signal across the country that governments can disregard the intrinsic value of nature in favour of the latest get-out-of-jail-free card for climate polluters." >>

Lingering loopholes in the new national environment laws
"The federal government says it fixed Australia's 'broken' environmental laws. Koala advocates disagree."
"Environmentalists believe the EPBC Act has (Australia's Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation) allowed habitat to be gradually lost, with multiple projects approved within the same area. Habitat loss on the Redlands coast has contributed to an 80 per cent drop in koala numbers over the last 25 years." >>

Dreamworld Gold Coast

Coomera resident "said he could hardly believe it was the same suburb where he once saw koalas in the trees. "It's all gone...It's just wall-to-wall suburban development."
"Dr O'Hare said instead of clearing vegetation and koala habitat for the project, developers should use 7 hectares of land occupied by a car park." >>

Koala dies after allegedly being dragged behind vehicle down a street
"A rope was tied around the animal's neck and the other end was looped around a vehicle's tow ball, before the animal was dragged along the road."
"There was blood and fur along the road where it got dragged. It was gurgling blood and had deep abrasions over a lot of its body."
"Volunteer vets were forced to euthanise the animal after it suffered injuries, including deep abrasions and a fractured jaw."

"Carte blanche" for bulldozing endangered ecosystems?
"The Australian Conservation Foundation has identified a dozen cases of land clearing since December that should have sought environmental approval."
"The ACF has found, via satellite imagery, a dozen cases in Queensland and NSW of old bushland containing endangered habitats being cleared without any of the necessary referrals for approval."
"The maximum penalty for breaches of the EPBC Act is up to $1.565 million for individuals and up to $15.65 million for corporate breaches." >>

Man's best friend - First eradicate the Neanderthals, then biodiversity

"Early dogs, bred from wolves, played a critical role in the modern human’s takeover of Europe 40,000 years ago when we vanquished the Neanderthal locals. The Neanderthals, who had lived there for more than 200,000 years. However, within a few thousand years of our arrival, they disappeared...Humans and hunting dogs were, and still are, a deadly combination." >>

The destruction of koala habitat shows ‘total failure’ of nature laws
"More clearing of koala habitat has been approved under Australia’s nature laws in 2025 so far than in any other year since the marsupial was listed as a threatened species, according to an analysis by the Australian Conservation Foundation.The very law meant to protect nature is so poorly enforced that it has failed to stop nearly 2.3m hectares of likely koala habitat from being bulldozed and cut down."
"The analysis found native forest logging, particularly in NSW, was also contributing to koala habitat loss, with 391,170 ha of likely koala habitat destroyed by logging operations over the 12-year period."

"The inherited pro-extinction settings remain – bugger the country."
"If the majority of the community – by definition, the political centre – is resolutely against the destruction of the natural world, why is our political and regulatory system stuck on the “kill” setting?"

Based on a recent preliminary report submitted to government, showing the original forest and koala sightings, with a list of moratorium areas (including Tuckers). All the most recent developments, bringing the viewer up to date. This is why we need a #GreaterKoalaPark, with no logging."

Forestry Corporation NSW logs 1.44 hectares within Bindarri National Park
"Bindarri National Park is home to birds, wallabies, possums, quolls, koalas, platypus, owls and bats. It lies next to Orara West State Forest, which Forestry Corporation manages and it claims the error was made because a timber plantation that sits on the border was rezoned and split between the two parks in 1999."
A "penalty will likely further hit the beleaguered state-owned company’s bottom line – on Friday, it revealed its native forestry business has lost $29 million over a single year. It said a key reason for its woes was legal action and protests against its operations. Although Victoria and Western Australia have shut down their state-owned logging companies, the Minns government has backed Forestry Corporation, which controversially logs endangered koala and greater glider habitat."
