Congratulations Mures for saying no to Tasmanian farmed salmon, and joining the growing number of Tasmanians demanding change.
Last week saw national laws changed to so that industrial salmon farming could continue in Macquarie Harbour. Tasmanians want our World Heritage protected, not destroyed.

It should be obvious by now that Netanyahu won't stop until every Palestinian in #Gaza (and perhaps the West Bank) has been murdered, maimed or expelled. He wants it all. Governments like ours should cut off all military equipment, diplomatic support and other relations until the genocide ends.
