Here's a place to talk to those issues amongst experienced conservationists directly.journeymanjnoreply@blogger.comBlogger31100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9439842.post-1174565269236998432007-03-22T23:35:00.000+11:002007-03-23T00:07:49.246+11:00<strong>Tabloid chemistry at The Age--- piss weak </strong>. According to the Age, the penguins on some spot "could" starve and the turbidity ( the only big short term impact from dredging the new bay channel )"will affect" is right but only for a short time and " well what degree ? - she no matter ?" .The thinking public wait for an answer to a reasonable question but what do they get ? more obfuscation<br /><br />Any reasonable chemist can predict what will happen to much loved mystery of turbidity( the big fear word in the age non story) let alone a production ecologist .! The 3 lone rangers writing the story mix fact and fear with a passion that makes truth impossible for age readers to gain.<br />presumably they trawled for hours to get even these precious little gems for Big new news items from the tom now before us ! <br /><br />If the age employed or consulted proper science writers they would be quickly weeding out the the "coulds and wills" into a much more cohrenet picture in line with the consesnus of the first EES . Save the public of vic 100 million on an exrecise in obfuscation !! Not worth buying- the age , that is ! <br /><br />Why is this comment listed on this blog ? because The people of victoria wil continue to pay dearly and improperly to get enviroenmeta risk information they used to get "for nothing" - when they had scientists on board who the people and the polys could trust to be objective !<br />The governmenet would rather obviscation than clarification and the consultants will continue to have a field day! <br />Thanks John Thwaites - for nothing but obfuscation, ignorance and fear ! and the age for helping them along! <br /><br />How much do you have to pay to get someone to tell you what the indepenadnats already know - 100 million, at least and who knows if such a tom won't drive more litigous nonsense than a few words of wisdom in someones;'s pinky heeded at the right time ??.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9439842-117456526923699843?l=eurekae.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>journeymanjnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9439842.post-1102053374975650922004-12-03T16:54:00.000+11:002004-12-03T17:15:48.576+11:00Experienced and keen conservationists came from all over Australia, at their own expense, in the spirit of those early rebels . <br />In the shadow of the very fence (less than a kilometer away)where men died over 150 years ago to resist unreasonable taxation the new group set up a forum to advise on practical and reasonable decisonmaking that doesn't cost the earth in credibility and frustration by those who care for their local environment.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9439842-110205337497565092?l=eurekae.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>journeymanjnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9439842.post-1102051032226511512004-12-03T16:11:00.000+11:002004-12-03T16:17:12.226+11:00They say nothing changes .
