Euan, I’ve tried twice this morning to sign parliament petition. No luck😡🤯

“There was a problem loading the page (Code 10).”🧐

That’s appalling Euan! Bureaucratic incompetence and madness. How did they allow that landowner to call the shots at the expense of the wetlands?
Love to know who the owners are. They must have some serious clout/connections/$$$ to pull that stunt.
😡🤬🤯

Also #Rutherglen is educated guess as another key reason why ECo moved transmission line route to Walcha in Oct2025. 🤨🧐

Too easy. Here! Dalkeith, Perth with his old floosy, Hyena Ginerart.

Paul, you got it in one.
Been to #Woomera. The Orange Peril probably already has it scoped. 🤨🧐
