Finally, some media coverage in Australia on the mass mortality of corals on the Great Barrier Reef in 2024.

An environment minister that isn't convinced that climate change is man made and was the only minister in the country to oppose the federal government’s plan for recycling (aimed to improve packaging recyclability and reuce waste)... Just what we need 🫠
