About Us
- Save Our Sound
- The Albany Port Authority, with the help of Grange Resources, are planning to dig a ditch through King George Sound, dump the spoils at the entranceway and fill in an historic, beautiful little cove forever - to fascilitate the shipping away of twenty years' worth of iron ore... This does not float our boat!
I think this is my call to raise the Jolly Roger.
ReplyDeleteOn page 37 in yesterday's West Australian (18th of June) I read that Peter Garrett had given permission to the Albany Port Authority and Grange Resources for their plan.
ReplyDeleteAnd I was also reading of what happened in Esperance, how it similarly had given in and over to the iron ore carriers (See http://www.greenleft.org.au/node/37492) and I wonder will the Port Authority go the same way as Esperance.
Did Peter Garret take the experiences of Esperence into account when he decided to sign the dotted line. Did he take anything into account, or did faceless people connected to his government make his decision for him?
I heard about his decision. Not sure how much jurisdiction the feds have anyway. I think we wait for the state environment minister to make a final decision on this one. I will have a look at that link, thanks.
