“There was a post put up saying that a University of Tasmania study had done modelling that predicted 400 whales would be killed a year from offshore wind turbines. And that was said to be in the journal Marine Policy,” Michelle says.
Marine Policy is a well-regarded international journal. The post sounded alarmingly authentic but there was just one problem – Michelle, the Keira Endowed Chair in Energy Futures at UOW, also happens to be an associate editor for Marine Policy, and she’d never heard of the paper.
“I straight away got in touch with the editor-in-chief [Professor Quentin Hanich], who's a Thirroul resident. And I said to him, 'Are you aware of this paper? I can't find any evidence of this paper.’

When everyone in Perth was having a coughing fit. When no one was wearing masks anywhere, not even on the very enclosed bus space, but they were all sick.

Unemployment falls, but won't 'move the needle' on the Reserve Bank's next rates decision
Australia's unemployment rate edges lower to 3.6 per cent, but only because fewer Australians were looking for work last month.
