At 5.20pm the Tasmanian Environment Protection Authority issued a media release about the ongoing #salmon deaths at leases in #Tasmania #politas

So we're still not sure that the sludge of dead salmon washing up on the coasts near to the salmon farms is coming from the salmon farms? Really?

Earlier today @australiainstitute.org.au criticised the EPA's response to the #salmon deaths & pollution of waterways

"The Environment Protection Authority has not provided an update about this disease for a week now. Australians deserve better." #politas

The EPA refuses to disclose details of antibiotic use at #salmon farms, including Huon Aquaculture's South of Zuidpool Rock lease, the site of a recent disease outbreak.

Australians have not yet voted to support government agencies, like the EPA, working for Corporate entities rather than people.
