For everyone following Lee Point, the bulldozers have arrived on site this morning.

Over 270 bird species, including the endangered Gouldian Finch, live here. This is a monumental failure of our environmental laws.

Another day, another 3500 hectares of habitat approved for bulldozing in the Northern Territory.

Not one pastoral land clearing application has been referred under the EPBC Act here. The Albanese Govt's decision to shelve nature law reforms will only speed the destruction.

Yesterday's release of CSIRO spells out the huge risk of expansion of large scale Ag across the Roper Catchment. The report shows the possible impacts on communities, culture and ecosystems that could occur if the Roper River is not protected. territoryrivers.org.au/csiro-report-s…

21 out of 22 remote polling booths in NT First Nations communities resoundingly wrote “yes”.

The “no” vote in the major non-Indigenous centres of Darwin, Katherine, Alice Springs trumped that in the NT’s final count.

We sure have some reckoning to do.
