Less than pawns in the governments game....

 Recently I received and email with this blazoned in the text:

[quote]

Despite koalas facing extinction, OVER THE PAST 2 WEEKS ENVIRONMENT MINISTER SUSSAN LEY HAS SIGNED OFF ON PROJECTS THAT WILL SEE MORE THAN 150 HECTARES OF PRECIOUS KOALA HABITAT DESTROYED.

[end quote]

What does one expect from this minister? She is ***not*** protecting the environment or any wildlife. Her role, and the reason Morrison put her into that portfolio, is to attempt to make it easier for business and developers to bypass the legislation that is supposed to protect the Australian heritage of environment and wildlife.

This is the ongoing process and purpose of the environment departments of state and federal government.

Attempting to save individual ecosystems, habitat and wildlife by letter writing and protest to the minister is not working. Because everyone who cares about environmental conservation is working on different projects and splitting their effectiveness, allowing ministers and public servants to continue being the method by which to destroy all that is important, irreplaceable and therefore of most value in Australia.

The protest must be against those that allow these things to happen; give their permission for destruction. The concentration of protest must be from all quarters, regardless of the peculiar, unique interest in one species exclusively. The platypus, the koala, the kangaroo and others, if concentrated on singularly, will divide and dilute the protest. If we do not all work together for the one purpose, stopping the minister from willy nilly allowing various projects to proceed with projects that damage some element of the environment. Then that minister has truly achieved their purpose, having divided and conquered the hoopleheads who are in disarray, so they can get on with their destruction.
