No mention of Great Barrier Reef Foundation (you know, the one with 6 or so employees) was given almost half a BILLION dollars to save the Reef. Have any of the activities of the GBRF been investigated by any Australian journalist, or is that just too big an ask for auspol MSM?

And the decision to allow the Adani Carmichael Coal mine to proceed by both the Libs and Labor, will add 120million tons of CO2 PER ANNUM into the atmosphere, and destroy a further 10% of the world reefs, including our Great Barrier Reef. We really should be ashamed as a nation!
