This morning I was speaking with over 100 school children about Australia's amazing mammals. It was joyous.

I couldn't bring myself to tell them that at the very same time, your decision was enabling this, @Tanya_Plibersek.

Perhaps you can explain it to them?

Need we remind you, Amanda, of the Centrelink forms you're currently forcing victims of violence to fill out

Larrakia man Tibby Quall whose ancestors have taken care of Lee Point for tens of thousands of years, told Yahoo News it was “ridiculous” his people have now been locked out of their land so it can be bulldozed for a housing development.

Trees & their hollows are homes for wildlife, including threatened species such as the Gouldian finch, black-footed tree-rat & northern brushtail possum. Today they're being destroyed at Lee Point in Darwin, after @Tanya_Plibersek's approval. Ecocide in action. Environment laws?

Another appalling failure of the Australian Labor federal government and its Minister for Environment on environmental protection, in particular protecting endangered species and critical habitats.

Bangalore on the boil

Territorians have been contacting me saying their local representatives aren’t willing to stand up alongside them to protect the area.

More housing is urgently needed but they argue there’s lots of other land Defence Housing Australia can use that won't destroy threatened species habitat.

This is the crux of it—the Labor govt can't just make 1 good decision (Toondah) & charge on w destruction for urban dev at Appin, Cranbourne, Lee Point etc, for agricultural dev at stations across NT, & for fossil coal & gas projects on land & at sea across Australia

Our federal environmental laws are broken.

This morning bulldozers arrived at Lee Point after the Enviro Minister decided to allow destruction of habitat vital to endangered species like the Gouldian Finch.

Labor promised to fix these laws, but have delayed reform indefinitely.

There is currently a big police presence at Lee Point, including mounted police and multiple police vehicles.

They are bulldozing right now despite people being located on site, raising serious safety concerns.

Minister Tanya Plibersek, how is allowing Defence Housing Australia, an Australian govt agency, destroy habitat of endangered species like the Gouldian Finch & Black-footed Tree-Rat consistent w commitment to halting & reversing environmental decline & NO NEW EXTINCTIONS?!
#SaveLeePoint

Please, Tanya Plibersek, you can STOP this madness, today.

Please, don’t let something so precious be destroyed.

Save Lee Point, it’s an urban biodiversity gem that all should be able to enjoy!

Was there yesterday arvo and saw 45 species of birds in an hour…
These are 8 species of finch that live here alone! 🐤
The dozers are in and ready to destroy everyone’s favourite birding spot in Darwin and our LAST local woodlands. 🌳🚜
Shame Tanya Plibersek 😡

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.

pissed off a bunch of femmos so i’m gonna launder my reputation by going on Kyle Sandiland’s breakfast show and talking about how irrational and emotional women are

Sleeping in a bed with a roof over my head to raise awareness for the younger generation who can’t afford it.

Good call, The Goldman Environmental Prize. Very good call. Murrawah is herself a force of nature! #goldmanprize theguardian.com/australia-news…

If you want to see how environment ministers are letting down wildlife, this photo tells you all you need to know.

They’re letting developers build across the corridors of Sydney’s last healthy expanding koala colony.

Why can’t Penny Sharpe and Tanya Plibersek stop this?
