Melissa Price was the most hopeless federal minister for the environment in Australia. Taking the baton of that position from Josh Frydenberg, who was the most intentionally destructive politician of native Australian wildlife and flora.
Then Sussan Ley was made the minister of environment. She is an environmental vandal in the mould of Frydenberg. She is against all native wildlife and flora as he was, and is attempting to allow every industry that sees wildlife as an impediment to their plans and destruction of the natural balance to further their wealth, to get a free pass to achieve their aims.
Since the Liberal party has been in power in federal politics, Abbot; Turnbull and Morrison, we have seen the natural beauty and attributes of Australia being destroyed. Sacrificed to the greedy god of mammon. It is difficult to see how we can recover from this constant pressure and attack on our native treasures, animal and plant.
The Victorian government still sanctioning the barbaric practice of allowing the shooting of all water birds, even though only some of these can be legally shot. Logging of forests that have survived the fires of 2019/20. There seems to be a state and government instigated effort to drive us down and embed the people of this country, in the horror reputation of being the most bloodthirsty, destructive country in the world.

Rubbish spoken, but why?
When a tyro politician who has no idea what he is talking about, makes statements which are both incorrect and obviously attempting to instil hatred, especially against a native Australian species of wildlife. We all have become worried. Statements that are contrary to what has been proven again and again to be wrong, obviously have a hidden agenda and by trying to fool the Australian public show a very low integrity of any individual who utters them in private, and something worse when they are spoken in public.
Referring to this: https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/expert-bats-away-call-for-ridiculous-cull-of-yarra-bend-flying-foxes-20200421-p54lvb.html
The enormous value in every action, in every possible way that the Grey Headed Flying foxes perform for Australia, surely can not be in doubt. Nor can the bad press about them “spreading” disease be raised again, proven again and again to be spurious and mendacious, for any reason other than hate. It becomes obvious that anyone who would voice this is trying to make mischief, or has too little to do as a representative for the people in his electorate.
It beggars belief that this sort of thing is not censured more strongly.

The fire 2019 to 2020
An event like the recent fires, demonstrates just how inadequate and slowly reactive the federal and state governments are, though in a Royal Commission they would not like this to come out, so they don't want any blame laid out.
Yet to become better prepared and to make improvements, it must be shown how things was badly done in the recent fires, otherwise there is no relevance, no reference why something suggested, should be implemented in the future. Or not?
Below are questions for the asking, and though there is no trust that the government either state or federal will answer truthfully. These questions, though not exhaustive will give some idea to those agencies, that the public know what is going on. Some of the answers will be known, some be discovered with a reasonable guess. Some find answers, if we just look at the Victorian governments policies and actions. However, it would be nice to get an honest answer.
• Does any tier of government believe that the people of Victoria should be satisfied, because being pleased is impossible, that they were prepared for any fires, much less horrific fires like the ones that caused so much trauma to, and placed so many people on, almost a war footing?
• Do the people of Victoria believe they have placed the right people into government, if they are not happy with how the various tiers of government have performed in this fire event, and now the following floods that have, much as the fires closed so many roads?
• Are there still people who believe that Climate Change is not responsible for these events?
• Why does the government need another Royal Commission into these fires, and stipulate there should be no blame?
• Has the government read submissions and recommendations made by previous Royal Commissions into previous fire events to see if any of these were either taken notice of or acted upon?
• Is the DELWP responsible for wildlife management, and if so, what kind of management?
• Did the DELWP send teams into the fire grounds with a dart marksman, so that native animals could be accessed at close range, and if so why?
• Did the DELWP send teams into the fire ground without at least one experienced wildlife carer/shelter operator who handle wildlife in all manner of conditions and circumstances all the time, if so why?
• Did the DELWP sent shooters into the fire ground, to destroy native animals on the inspection through binoculars, and were these animals checked for pouch young?
• Why did the DELWP not hand over wildlife orphans from the shot or burnt mothers to wildlife carers and/or shelters?
• Were there no orphans or slightly injured native animals found that could be rehabilitated?
• Were all native animals euthanized, killed, if they were burnt even in the smallest amount, and could have been rescued?
• Did the DELWP shooters have any wildlife caring experience or knowledge of wildlife of any kind?
• Did the shooters just shoot wombats summarily and not realise they may have had babies in the burrow?
• Is that why emaciated baby wombats round the 6 to 10 kilogram weight, were found roaming the fire ground, looking for their mothers who had left them in their burrows to find feed, were summarily shot and therefoe didn't get back to feed their babies?
• Is this and other iniquitous activity conducted by DELWP personnel by instruction from the Victorian Minister for the environment or the Victorian Premier?
• Is one of these reasons why the Victorian Minister was never available to be interviewed by one of the media outlets?
• Did the DELWP officers confiscate water point infrastracture from a burnt forest area in Corryong?
• Did the DELWP officers install a gate at a burnt forest at Corryong to prevent a wildlife carer from continuing to put out food and water for native animals until their was food growing again?
• Was this under the instruction of the Minister?
• Why were authorised wildlife carers/shelter operators sidelined, not allowed onto the fire ground when others less qualified, and tradesmen were permitted access those areas?
• Does the DELWP and the Minister not realise that all Australians and people in other countries, world wide, care for about our wildlife?

One hundred and thirty six wedge tailed eagles poisoned..
The number of wedge tail eagles poisoned, 136, is obscene. Yet we have been informed that the maximum jail term, yes, the maximum, for anyone that kills that many birds is 6 months jail. The fine for killing a wedge tail eagle is $7,928.50? How do they come to that figure. Because it was derived back in the dark ages when shooting Aboriginal people during drunken soirée's was finally forbidden. Moving to decimal currency moved this penalty to this ridiculous figure. For every extra bird killed there is a discount. They can be killed for only $792.85. Another ridiculous figure for the same reason as above.
The more discovered about wildlife in Victoria, proves that it is considered a nuisance in this state. People are permitted to do what they will with wildlife, and in fact perpetrate despicable acts upon all species of native animals almost with impunity. The penalties are so small that they beggar belief, but in reality show the low value in which they are held, in this case, the state of Victoria.
Shooters and farmers are ubiquitous and great in number, they are able to vote, so are permitted to do almost anything they want.
The Andrews state government is possibly the weakest government running under the Labor flag that this state has ever been voted into office. Certainly in wildlife and law and order issues. Which in the case of these poisoned eagles, proves the point.
