Engineer says 50 years of erosion research ignored by government and courts
"I've come to the conclusion, after 50 years, that there's very little other option than for the Australian government, Australia-wide, to just simply say, 'You can enjoy the coast while it's there, but property owners cannot protect their property.' End of story," Mr Gordon said."
"The Byron and Tweed Shire councils were urged to control development within 1 kilometre of the shoreline, and stipulate landholders who disregarded the policy did so "at their own risk".
The paper 'Beach law in the anthropocene' "reviewed legal systems around the world and found private property rights trumped public interest...Our common law tradition assumes coastlines are stable and coastal property boundaries can be fixed...But as the effects of climate change become more dramatic, those assumptions no longer hold."
"Professor Smith said it was time for tough discussions about a transition strategy.
"We really need to think about what sort of future we want for the coastal zone, and we need to resolve who bears the ultimate rights and responsibilities for these lands — whether we are going to preference private property rights over public rights, whether we're going to preference people's rights over nature's rights," he said."

**I've told you all, several times, that you shouldn't trust #BCNDP & that they're #sellout #neoliberals. They pander to #CorporateLobbyists invested in #Ecocide & exploitation of unceded #IndigenousLands. #RCMPCIRG = #CorporateMercenaries funded by #PublicMonies - our #Taxpayers funds. I told you that #DavidEby was groomed by #JohnHorgan too. I wasn't lying. They both lied to public though.**
