  • Koala Protection Act Sent to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull
    23 May 2016 Australian Press Release: Koala Protection Act sent to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull Koala Foundation The Australian Koala Foundation (AKF) has written to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, Opposition Leader Bill Shorten, Nationals Leader Barnaby Joyce and Greens Leader Richard A.C.N. 010 922 102 Di Natale today to request their support for a Koala Protection Act. The Koala Protection Act is a piece of national legislation that has been formulated by the AKF in consultation with legal teams in Australia and overseas focusing on protecting Koala habitat. Current legislation focuses on the Koala itself but not their habitat. A draft of the Act was enclosed, along with a Statutory Declaration for all leaders to sign prior to the election that states that they will seek to support the Koala via this legislation should they be re-elected. CEO of the AKF Deborah Tabart OAM said that the Act is based on the USA’s Bald Eagle Act that brought the Bald Eagle back from the brink of extinction. She said as Australia’s national icon, the Koala needs the same strength of purpose. “It is not our intention to offend the leaders by requesting they sign a Statutory Declaration, but rather a determination borne of frustration over the AKF’s 30-year experience,” said Ms Tabart. “Since 1988 when I was appointed as CEO of the AKF I have had conversations and correspondence with the who’s who of Australian politics; Environment Ministers at the Federal level and Premiers at the State level."[see notes below] Ms Tabart said the number of Environment Ministers in each State and the Mayors of the 320 Councils in Koala Habitat that she has also corresponded with is too high to remember.

  • Palmer Puts Climate in the Centre AUTHOR
    TITLE: Palmer puts climate in the centre AUTHOR: Richard Denniss PUBLICATION: Australian Financial Review PUBLICATION DATE: 1/07/14 LINK: http://www.afr.com The day after Clive Palmer announced he would oppose the Abbott government’s efforts to abolish the 20 per cent renewable energy target, the price of market-traded renewable energy certificates jumped 27 per cent. The same day shares in Infigen, a company with a big portfolio of renewable energy generation, jumped 16 per cent. The next day, as the news sunk in, the shares rose another 2 per cent. But while the renewable energy end of the sharemarket reacted favourably to Clive’s big announcement with Al Gore, some reacted with pessimism and hostility. The Greens and Labor have every right to defend their now identical approach that abandons the carbon tax in favour of an immediate ETS. But the Palmer United Party’s plans to protect the RET, the Clean Energy Finance Corporation and the Climate Change Authority need to be encouraged or risk being unwound. Symbolism is important in politics. Al Gore’s endorsement was clearly valuable to Clive Palmer. But Al Gore’s objectives were more than symbolic. He wanted to help achieve real outcomes. By sharing a stage with Palmer, he helped reshape Australian politics. Had he done a press conference with Christine Milne, he’d have simply locked in politics as usual. Tony Abbott’s hostility to carbon pricing is entirely symbolic. We know it’s not a deeply held view, as he has confessed to being a “weather vane” on the issue.

  • Read the Australian Financial Review Article
    The Treasurer has literally lost the plot PUBLISHED: 07 MAR 2012 00:08:20 | UPDATED: 07 MAR 2012 04:06:14 THE AUSTRALIAN FINANCIAL REVIEW Where should Australia’s Treasurer be directing the national conversation right now? Perhaps he should be preparing Australians for a tough budget in May that will necessarily spread belt- tightening across the community while driving productivity-enhancing policy reforms to make the economy more flexible, to ease the painful adjustments of some industries to the high dollar and to encourage broader wealth generation as commodity export prices come off their peaks. Instead, Wayne Swan has spent the past few days indulging in a belligerent and almost incoherent rant against some of the entrepreneurs who are at the heart of the biggest mining boom in more than a century and who are helping drive the national income to unprecedented heights. Then yesterday he was put in the seemingly contradictory position of having to defend coalminers against attacks by Greenpeace and other environmental groups seeking funding from other wealthy entrepreneurs to disrupt and delay the new mines and infrastructure that would entrench this prosperity. Yet, with his rant against mining magnates Gina Rinehart, Clive Palmer and Andrew Forrest, wealth creation appears to have become, at least in Mr Swan’s eyes, a vice that runs against the grain of Australian society and which must therefore be fought against at all costs. Just two months before he hands down his fifth budget, this is a time when the Treasurer should be focused on trimming the fat from government spending and getting Australia’s budget out of deficit, particularly given the warning from our biggest export market that China is shaving its economic growth target.
