@miclgael Watch the upcoming NT elections in August. There are a number of excellent independent candidates and they have a real chance of shaking up the vote. The ALP is on the nose even among its heartland vote. #saveleepoint has revealed the flaws at all levels of government in assessing projects regarding cultural and environmental values, protecting endangered species and enforcing the laws and regulations that already exist. I consider myself to be a Labor person but I value the environment and health. I'm helping out the brave young woman who has put her hand up for my electorate as an Independent. She's whip smart and a local. I think she has a real chance.

@Crell This is what Defence Housing Australia, a Government Business Enterprise, is doing at the very controversial Lee Point development where a critical wildlife corridor consisting of old growth tropical savanna forest and with a few nationally endangered species. Given the controversy you would think that a Federal agency would make sure that every box regarding approvals and permit conditions are ticked especially as a significant part of the community oppose this. Nope. They purposefully employ contractors that break every rule in the book. Work health nightmare, no fauna spotters and bulldozed areas outside their permit potentially damaging sacred sites. But the weak legislation makes all that worthwhile as the fines are not proportionate. #saveleepoint

Please vote for the black-footed tree rat which is endangered and is one of the critters we are trying to save at the #saveleepoint protest site.

This wildlife corridor may be bulldozed as soon as this week for a #defencehousingaustralia development that is less than 10% military housing. There are #endangered species in the area such as #gouldianfinches, #redknot, #fareasterncurlew in the area. Please contact the Federal Environment minister Tanya Plibersek and NT Chief Minister Natasha Fyles.
