Juliet and Indiana Jones“We are on duty at our Friday market stall in Fawkner. Someone needs to urge you hoomans to stop with the new coal and gas, and protect nature and our fellow species. “It looks like the Albanese Government will try to ram through changes to National Environment laws, the EPBC Act, to reduce due process next Tuesday. This will be nominally to safeguard the foreign owned salmon aquaculture industry in Tasmania that is killing the Macquarie harbour ecosystem including the endangered Maugean Skate that only lives there, but the changes will also advantage fossil fuel companies.“We were only just puppies when Labor were elected in May 2022 promising major reform of national environment laws. Instead they look like taking us backwards from protecting nature with these new changes. “ - Indiana Jones and Juliet 🐶🐶<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/mar/19/albanese-to-rush-through-new-laws-to-protect-tasmanias-salmon-industry-from-legal-threat" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/mar/19/albanese-to-rush-through-new-laws-to-protect-tasmanias-salmon-industry-from-legal-threat</a><a href="https://aus.social/tags/JulietandJones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JulietandJones</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/LifeInFawkner" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LifeInFawkner</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ChihuahuasForClimateAction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChihuahuasForClimateAction</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/dogsofmastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dogsofmastodon</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/epbcact" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#epbcact</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Australia</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ProtectNature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProtectNature</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateCrisis</a>

BellingenNSWNative freshwater fish at risk of extinction"More than one-third (37%) of our freshwater fish species are at risk of extinction, including 35 species not even listed as threatened...At present, 63 freshwater fish species are on Australia’s national list of species declared as threatened under federal environmental law.""Invasive fish such as brown and rainbow trout are the biggest driver of native fish loss...Australia’s southern states are greatly adding to the problem by releasing millions of trout into waterways each year for recreational fishers...The other major threats facing native fish are agriculture and aquaculture (38%), pollution (38%), hunting and fishing (19%), energy production and mining (17%), and urban development (13%).""In 2022, the Australian government made a commitment to end extinctions. Our study provides a blueprint for how to do that for our overlooked native freshwater fish." >> <a href="https://theconversation.com/troubled-waters-how-to-stop-australias-freshwater-fish-species-from-going-extinct-242950" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://theconversation.com/troubled-waters-how-to-stop-australias-freshwater-fish-species-from-going-extinct-242950</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/fishes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fishes</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#biodiversity</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/conservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#conservation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/rivers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rivers</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/extinction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#extinction</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/InvasiveSpecies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InvasiveSpecies</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/trout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trout</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/fishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fishing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/RecreationalFishers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RecreationalFishers</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/sport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sport</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/agriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#agriculture</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/aquaculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aquaculture</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/pollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pollution</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/mining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mining</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/DynamiteBlasting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DynamiteBlasting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/SettlerSociety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SettlerSociety</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/sprawl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sprawl</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/EPBCAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EPBCAct</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/IUCN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IUCN</a>
