Dec dirty laundry - NT draft Buffel weed mgt plan. Minister can grant an industry wide permit for pastoral leases to be exempt from requirements of section 9E of the act. Section 9E requirements include “comply with a weed management plan” I.e pastoral industry is above the law while we clean up!

Mystified. How could the Pastoral Lands Board approve land clearing next to Giwining/Flora River, home to sawfish & pig-nosed turtles? These species’ groundwater dependency and risks from clearing were glossed over. An industry dominated Board is unsuitable to decide land clearing applications.

Company gets clearing permits for fodder then applies for free groundwater for cotton. It could secure bulk of entitlements under the notorious Georgina Wiso water plan and game water markets. Deputy chair of regulator the Pastoral Land Board is from same company! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

Traditional owners say they hope the park's new listing will trigger action to prevent the spread of an invasive grass species that's changing the ancient landscape.

This is utterly outrageous by the Group of Eight unis, and deeply insulting and undermining for environment and climate experts trying their hardest to achieve a more sustainable future for society. Shameful stuff.

Fortunately the international community can learn all about Australia's massive fossil fuel exports that make up ~80% of Australia's contribution to global emissions, from @timinclimate.bsky.social's excellent analysis

"Among 41 nations & jurisdictions the OECD modelled, Australia’s safeguard mechanism had the 12th lowest coverage.

Angatyepe, Honeymoon Gap is one of the most beautiful and loved places in Central Australia. 30 days ago the upstream was devastated by another buffel fuelled fire. Most of the old rivergums have burned to the ground.

Why isn’t this a national scandal? Instead the cattle industry has just taken the insurance money, restocked, told everyone else to do better, kept on clearing releasing more GHGs, and opposed regulation of highly flammable invasive pasture grasses like buffel. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...
