How many Salmon farms are fully Australian owned?

anastrophic.bsky.social•3 days ago

none, I don’t think. mostly brazillian ownership. and they employ only a tiny number of people locally

thenoseknow.bsky.social•2 days ago

But Albo will get possibly his last brown paper bag, this way !!! He knows that he's steered Labor straight into the ground, the Kamikaze pilot has flown his last mission !!!

pirks.bsky.social•3 days ago

None, all foreign owned. Tassal by Cooke (Canada), Huon by JBS (Brazil), Petuna by Sealord (NZ). None of these pay any federal taxes. Shameful all round

faineblackadder.bsky.social•3 days ago

They need to be shut down. 🤬

juliamc17.bsky.social•3 days ago

The salmon farmers have turned the beautiful waters around Bruny Island and Southern Tasmania into a sewer. They have come to. Tasmania as they are being chucked out of everywhere else. Gullible Australia politicians. #politas

lareinemargaux.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s corporate vandalism. In fact @albomp.bsky.social is busy protecting this disgusting industry to the hilt. & for what!? Jobs? Jobs destroying the evidence of killing over a million fish & producing a product the requires a health warning? The pristine waters of Tasmania will soon be a sad memory

thenoseknow.bsky.social•2 days ago

Albo's last brown paper bag, most probably !!!

raven-murmur.bsky.social•3 days ago

Has Labor given up expecting any useful Greens' 2nd preferences at all?

owh.bsky.social•3 days ago

During this term specifically I've seen multiple cases where decisions made by the ALP are not made in the interest of our environment in areas of coal, gas, fracking, wind, and salmon.

No idea who they think will vote for them, but my vote is not one they can count on anymore.

kewpiekat.bsky.social•3 days ago

Me too. It’s terrible.

dalerivercc.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’ll vote accordingly.

hizsoltee.bsky.social•3 days ago

Maybe because he's a city boy or whatever but Albanese doesn't seem to have any regard for the natural world. I've never seen him express any interest in the environment as if it's something not very important and optional. This crap policy is another in a long list of environmental disregard.

thenoseknow.bsky.social•2 days ago

Simple! Put Labor, and the LNP last !!! That's where the y put you !!!

lindsaybussau.bsky.social•3 days ago

"Unease" from pro-environment MPs. But they went along with it anyway.
They hade the same response to new gas developments and coal mines.
This is why we need a strong crossbench of independent, ethical politicians and minority government.

dbranch9.bsky.social•3 days ago

I don’t suppose any of these “pro-environment MPs” have the courage to vote against this bill?

I’m not holding my breath.

This is the final straw for me. I cannot vote Labor after this.

thenoseknow.bsky.social•2 days ago

Good!!! A good independent, or the Greens! Put Labor and the LNP last,because that's where they put you !!!

antsinpants.bsky.social•3 days ago

Can someone tell me WHY?
Do we really get so.mich money into the country from salmon exports?? WTF

Tassie is one of our shiny jewels in tourism.
Labor are litterally happy to sh|t on it.
Someone make this make sense?

kewpiekat.bsky.social•3 days ago

ALP are the LNZ, they’ll just destroy the country a little more slowly and a little less brutally.
#FuckLabor

cgrykes.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s not about money. It’s about votes. Labor only has two out of five Federal House of Reps MPs and four out of twelve Senators in Tasmania.

psouthorn.bsky.social•3 days ago

I fail to see how it helps them though - won't win them Bass, might lose them Franklin (strong Teal in play) and takes the pressure off the Lib state gov on the self same issue... madness

cgrykes.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’m sure you are correct but I can’t see any other reason. Albanese has a history as PM of overriding environmental protection if he thinks it will piss off some section of society be it mining companies or voters.

thenoseknow.bsky.social•2 days ago

Albo's prime ministership has made very little sense at all !!! Unless he was trying to show us that the duopoly really is just the UNIPARTY !!! Don't vote for the LNP, or Labor!!!

robyninthestix.bsky.social•3 days ago

This is the sort of policy decision that makes me look very closely at what the options are for my local area, and who to preference low on the ballot papers.
Tassal surely can't be that big of a donor to get this big a favour.

thenoseknow.bsky.social•2 days ago

Maybe Albo's last chance at a large brown paper bag ?!!!

robyninthestix.bsky.social•2 days ago

Either that or management knows someone who knows someone who knows stuff.....

juddyom.bsky.social•3 days ago

And WA ALP wonders why the swing in Fremantle was as large as it was just 2 weeks ago?
Obvs different state, but same ALP ignorance of good enviro policies in operation here federally.

tassie-devil.bsky.social•3 days ago

We overlook some of these fish farms and they want to expand. They are polluting and environmentally damaging.

weezmgk.bsky.social•3 days ago

Are Tasmanian Salmon Chunks On The Beach big political 'donors'?

pupfiction.bsky.social•3 days ago

The worst thing about this is pro-environment Labor MPs apparently wanting a committment for Albanese to not be so shit about the environment in the next term.
Well good luck holding him to that

phantom-rooster.bsky.social•3 days ago

I would like to read the minutes for the cabinet meeting where they came up with this shit, and to see if these "pro-environment" ministers actually put up any sort of real fight.

thenoseknow.bsky.social•2 days ago

Jellyfish aren't good at fighting !!!

pupfiction.bsky.social•3 days ago

Insert 'This makes me slighlty uneasy' meme

srreynolds.bsky.social•3 days ago

Utterly disgusted! To allow salmon farming in Macquarie Harbour in the first place was wrong, for this government to ignore environmental impact and support further farming is "truly pathetic".

thenoseknow.bsky.social•2 days ago

Truly pathetic, are Albo's middle names, I reckon !!!

jmil4000.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s all about votes.

fladdle.bsky.social•3 days ago

But whose, though? They’re losing votes with this sort of behaviour, and those votes aren’t going to Herr Kipfler’s party.

madrabbitohpj.bsky.social•3 days ago

Scotty , to be fair would have had a rod and yellow waterproofs ready for the photo

thenoseknow.bsky.social•2 days ago

Labor just wants to make sure that it doesn't win the election !!! Hammers the last nail into its own coffin !!! The Kamikaze government going down in flames !!!

marirhydwen.bsky.social•3 days ago

I understand the desire to protect jobs, but not jobs in unethical and damaging industries.

marnshibski.bsky.social•3 days ago

70 jobs. Make it make sense.

archaeoiain.bsky.social•3 days ago

The Albanese government seem to have lost sight of the distinction between right and wrong

nessie011.bsky.social•3 days ago

This is why people are flocking away from the major parties - extremely disappointing - I thought they would be better than this

aussiewitch.bsky.social•3 days ago

This filthy industry should be shut down.. never eat it.. that shit will kill you

jennifereccles.bsky.social•3 days ago

It's as if @australianlabor.bsky.social doesn't want our votes.

Im going to sign up to the Greens Party right now as a member. @albomp.bsky.social is a spineless coward, Bob Hawke would be turning in his grave. #auspol

Scott Morrison would have turned up in full wet weather gear and fishing rod.

Stop selling Morrison short.

colcrow57.bsky.social•3 days ago

As I said. Liberal light.

yvescharles.bsky.social•3 days ago

Labor as part of the two-prefered party system doing business as usual is hopeless. Vote independents or Greens.
