This headline is among the most obscene I've read. 'Protect the salmon industry'? I hope they've got a stuffed specimen of the #maugean #skate on display at the #Tasmanian Museum beside the thylacine, so future generations can see what used to live there. @thesaturdaypaper.com.au @greens.org.au

Prime minister promises law change to protect salmon farms Anthony Albanese has written to the salmon industry to confirm laws will be introduced that will protect salmon farms on Tasmania's west coast.

Astounding! Albanese always gets it wrong:

@albomp.bsky.social promises law change to protect Macquarie Harbour farms.

I'm sure the multinationals farming salmon will be pleased that the #Maugean skate has no priority with this government.

Well said, @richarddenniss.bsky.social:
Current #environmental laws give Tanya #Plibersek the power to save the #maugean skate, a dinosaur era fish AKA the 'thylacine of the sea' from the salmon industry.
The government doesn't need new laws to save the skate, it needs new courage.
