Will the new environment bill, you know...actually protect the environment? @adammorton.bsky.social looks at the evidence, but I suspect you know the answer....

As the Coalition shows its colours on nature, Labor faces a question: will it really protect Australia’s wildlife? | Clear Air
There are some decent elements in what Labor is proposing, but the overhaul could end up as tinkering rather than transformation

One postmortem shows one of the koalas had a joey when she was translocated. The joey was found dead in her pouch during a health check after the first koala deaths in April but the adult female was re-released. She was found on the ground in the forest in late May and died on the way to the vet.
Exclusive: The NSW government rejected advice from an expert scientific panel before it attempted a failed reintroduction of koalas to a forest in the state’s south. 8 out of 13 koalas died, one more than the govt claimed, with postmortems showing emaciation and “undernutrition”.
NSW government rejected expert advice before failed koala reintroduction that left more than half dead
Exclusive: Documents reveal state environment department had ‘reckless indifference’ to fate of individual koalas, Greens spokesperson Sue Higginson says

Eight of the 13 koalas moved in March died – one more than the government originally claimed
Some were left in the forest for six weeks after the first deaths. 🧪

Banding owls really is a spiritual experience. The woods are dark and quiet save for the rhythmic “toot, toot, toot” of the audio lure. They seem vacant. Suddenly, a tiny nocturnal spirit drops in to bless you with its brief presence. Then it’s off, likely never to be seen again.
