Queensland government cuts Environmental Defenders Office funding despite pre-election promise for support

Eastern Curlew, Hayes Inlet. I hope it's doing a little happy dance somewhere in celebration of Tanya Plibersek's announced intention to block the #toondahharbour travesty.

CW: #ExtinctionIsForever #Auspol Will Australia preserve the internationally protected RAMSAR wetlands or give in to real estate bullies Walker Group who want to drain the mudflats and mangroves at Toondah to build high-rise apartments?

“Every summer for hundreds – probably thousands – of years, eastern curlews and other long-distance flyers have recuperated at #Toondah Harbour on Moreton Bay, near Brisbane, after their massive journeys back from the northern hemisphere.

#Birdlife are asking for a few moments of your time to email Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek regarding the #ToondahHarbour precious #RamsarWetlands.
The link includes all you need to word your argument.

I've just emailed Tanya Plibersek regarding the fate of the #ToondahHarbour precious #RamsarWetlands.
This link offers a proforma email, but you can customise it. My version was much more emotive and more of a guilt trip for the minister.
I didn't however list every failing and disappointment of this #Labor government in terms of the environment and coal/gas expansion... but I really wanted to.

CW: Conservation, environmental destruction
This morning in the internationally important #Ramsar Wetland Area of Moreton Bay. In this exact location (#ToondahHarbour), a wealthy developer wants to excise part of the Ramsar Site AND the #MoretonBay #MarinePark for 3600 apartments in multi-story apartment blocks, and a 400 berth marina. It's obscene ☹️
