‘It’s about dam time, Restore Pedder.’ Who would be stupid enough to rebuild a dam on an earthquake fault line? The Tas and Fed Govt think it’s fine. . Defying Nature again! #auspol #politas

Today, the Australian reported that Bill Shorten will receive a "shocking" remuneration package of $860k in his new job as VC at the Uni of Canberra. Our research found that the VCs of leading unis in Australia receive on average nearly $1.3 million each year in remuneration. Is this fair?

Incredible that @tanyaplibersekmp.bsky.social made a proposed windfarm at Bell Bay in NE Tas a controlled action under EPBC but decided that rebuilding the Edgar Dam in the TWWHA is not! How is it possible that dam works in a place of ‘outstanding universal value’ don’t warrant full EIS? #auspol
