This provides a brief snapshot of follow up coverage of morning news and emerging issues. Minister Frydenberg coverage Minister Frydenberg – Bureau of Meteorology 2CC, 2/08/17, Tim Shaw, Regular Segment: Alan Jones Comments Jones says the Bureau of Meteorology has been caught out again scaling up an exceptionally cold temperature, which was properly recorded at stations in Goulburn and Thredbo. He says Bureau of Meteorology's Andrew Johnson has agreed to a review but the Environmental Minister Josh Frydenberg is refusing to sanction an independent review. He notes that BOM has plenty of forms when it comes to manipulating or lying about recorded temperatures to suit global warming dogma. He recounts that he had spoken to Dr Marohasy back in 2014, who had revealed how the Bureau adjusts temps to match those nearby recording stations. He adds that in 2014, Tony Abbott has established a panel INFORMATIONof statisticians to investigate the homogenisation, but the then Environment Minister Greg Hunt had intervened to limit its investigations. OF 2GB, 2/08/17, Alan Jones, Jones discusses the 'disgraceful' behaviour of the Bureau of Meteorology about their lying on raw temperatures to Minister Josh Frydenberg. He recalls that Jennifer Marohasy has said that Goulburn and Thredbo's temperature entry from its website were removed, making them warmer than they actually were. He then notes that the Bureau Chief Executive Andrew Johnson has written back to the Minister and in turn the Minister has sent him the letter. He says the BOM has plenty of form when it comes to manipulating or lying about recorded temperatures to suit global warming dogma. He recounts that he had spoken to Dr Marohasy back in 2014, who had revealed how the Bureau adjusts temps to match those nearby recording stations.

Minister Frydenberg -Energy Small Business Council Calls for State Governments To Lead In The Energy Crisis EGlobal Travel Media, 2/8/17 UNDER The Council of Small Business Australia (COSBOA) has called for immediate action from government, particularly state governments, in stopping increases in energy costs for small business and consumers in Australia. The call is ahead of the Vodafone National Small Business Summit hosted by COSBOA where the Hon. Josh Frydenberg MP, Minister for the Environment and Energy will speak to small business leaders in Melbourne on 23-25 August 2017. COSBOA recognises that small businesses are suffering from unprecedented rises in the cost of energy. The situation must be confronted with a 12-month freeze on energy cost increases, while innovative renewable and gas- powered optionsRELEASED are brought onto the grid. Passionate small business advocate Peter Strong, CEO, COSBOA, commented on the council’s support of the Federal Government’s actions and placed pressure on state governments to demonstrate leadership on the energy cost crisis. http://www.eglobaltravelmedia.com.au/small-business-council-calls-for-state-governments-to-lead-in-the-energy- crisis/ Minister Frydenberg -Wildlife, Heritage and Marine ABC Far North, 2/08/17, Kier Shorey, Pre-recorded Interview with Julia Leu, Mayor, Douglas Shire Council. Shorey talks about crocodile sightings at Four Mile Beach in Port Douglas which has caused the residents and tourist operators to ask the state government for a change in crocodile management plan. He mentions a crocodile has been caught on Monday and has been released the day after. Leu says the croc which has been sighted may not be the targeted crocodile, noting though that the croc management plan in Port Douglas is working. She mentions there is a concern that the targeted crocodile is still out there, hence, an increased measure on the area. Leu also says they want the targeted crocodile removed but those who do not pose a threat are to remain in their habitat. All other coverage Biodiversity/Land Management Fresh habitat for rare birds Cairns Post, 2/8/17 A new tourism opportunity may have hatched - quite literally - on the Tablelands with a surprise spike in cassowary sightings in the region. Far North Queensland is widely known as being the best place in the world to encounter southern cassowaries. The iconic bird is the flagship species for both the tourism industry and our World Heritage rainforests. The Cassowary Coast is the bird's obvious habitat but in recent times it has been spotted in increasing numbers on the Tablelands. Even Queensland's Department of Environment and Heritage Protection has been at a loss to explain the sudden surge in the number of sightings. It's likely we humans have played a major role, particularly since the expansion of the sugarcane industry in the cassowary's lowland habitat along the Cassowary Coast. But, regardless of how or why the birds are there, they present a fantastic opportunity to the area's tourism industry. https://readnow.isentia.com/Temp/117706/820957797.pdf VFF denied wild dog committee role Weekly Times, 2/8/17, Kath Sullivan INFORMATION Victoria's main farm lobby has failed to gain a designated position on the state's Wild Dog Management Advisory Committee. The Victorian Farmers Federation wanted its wild dog specialist Peter Star made an observer to the group after it was announced no direct VFF appointment would be made.OF Agriculture Minister Jaala Pulford named the six-member committee in June, following an independent review. Ms Pulford was criticised by some groups for including dingo preservation advocate Ernest Healy and ecologist Euan Ritchie on the committee, which will advise on issues such as aerial baiting, trapping and a wild dog bounty. She said it would be up to advisory chairman Ron Harris to determine whether any observers would be included. https://readnow.isentia.com/Temp/117706/820546046.pdf FREEDOM ABC News, 1/08/17, There are calls for wild deer to be declared a pest after a sharp rise in numbers across NSW. Property owners say the animals are damaging sensitive rainforest, and putting lives at risk on roads and railways. The Invasive Species Council says the government is not doing enough to control the animal. Restrictions on deer shooting have been lifted across nine regions for the first time, but the Local Council says this does not go far enough. ABC Ballarat, 2/08/17, Kristen Diprose,UNDER Interview with Jennifer Silcock, Researcher, Threatened Species Recovery Hub about plant translocation program as a solution to save endangered plants. Silcock explains plant translocation is simply moving plants from the area where it grows to a safer area. Silcock remembers it started in 1976 where Jumping-Jack Wattle species were saved. Diprose asks the number of threatened plant species across Australia. Silcock cites the Federal Register of Legislation lists more than a thousand endangered plants. ABC Gippsland, 2/08/17, Jonathon Kendall, Interview with Trevor Owen, Assistant Chief Officer for the South East Region, CFA. Compere says lots of people are still thinking about fire season because it has been really fire. There are some predictionsRELEASED of a bad fire season coming up. He mentions the Emergency Management Victoria has put out a meeting paper on the bushfire outlook. Compere reports Vic is expecting an above normal bushfire season in the eastern rangers and in some northern, eastern, and central Mallee areas. He adds factors affecting it are soil, moisture, growth of forests, and long-term outlook. Owen explains the outlook has been developed by weather experts and fuel management experts. He says the accuracy of the information does show Gippsland will be at high risk of bushfires. He notes the state hasn't had the winter rainfalls. He notes people have to be mindful when temperatures start to heat up. Bureau of Meteorology Dry July for Bundy temps rise News Mail, 2/8/17, Emma Reid If you thought it was hot and dry in July in Bundaberg you weren't wrong. The record for the average July maximum temperature in Bundaberg was broken as the mercury rose across the Rum City. The average temperature for July in the region is 22.1 degrees. The old record, set in 2004, was 23.6 degrees. Last month it was 24.4 degrees, 0.8 of a degree higher than the old record. The rest of the state had its warmest July on record also with a mean temperature 2.65 degrees above the long-term average of 15.94 degrees.

  • Mps in Drive for Nuclear Energy - the Australian, 2/18/2021
    18/02/2021 MPs in drive for nuclear energy - The Australian, 2/18/2021 MPs in drive for nuclear energy EXCLUSIVE GREG BROWN COALITION’S CLIMATE PUSH Nationals senators have drafted legislation allowing the Clean Energy Finance Corporation to invest in nuclear power as twothirds of Coalition MPs backed lifting the ban on the controversial fuel source to help shift the nation to a carbon- neutral future. The block of five Nationals senators, led by Bridget McKenzie and Matt Canavan, will move an amendment to legislation establishing a $1bn arm at the green bank to allow it to invest in nuclear generators, high-energy, low-emissions (HELE), coal- fired power stations and carbon capture and storage technology. The Nationals’ move comes as a survey of 71 Coalition backbenchers conducted by The Australian revealed that 48 were in favour of lifting the longstanding prohibition on nuclear power in the EPBC act. Liberal MPs Andrew Laming, John Alexander and Gerard Rennick are among backbenchers who want Scott Morrison to take a repeal of the nuclear ban to the upcoming election — a move that would open a new divide with Labor as the nation sets a course for a low-emissions future. “I’m very keen to see the prohibition lifted,” Mr Laming said. “It is something that has to be taken to an election so Australians realise there is a significant change in energy policy.” Mr Alexander said it was like “trying to fight Muhammad Ali with one arm tied behind your back if you are going to ignore nuclear energy”. “This is a new era; let’s be right at the cutting edge,” Mr Alexander said.

SeaLink is a listed public company in the top 300 on the ASX and welcomes the opportunity to present a report on taxes paid in Australia and the Company’s tax strategy. SeaLink currently has no direct dealings overseas and therefore is limited to one tax jurisdiction. In this respect, we have adopted the recommendations of Part A of the Board of Tax’s voluntary “Tax Transparency Code” (“TTC”). SeaLink is considered to be a ‘medium’ business for the purposes of the TTC because its Australian turnover was greater than $100 million and less than $500 million during the 2016 year. We support the adoption of this voluntary code and believe it provides users with a comprehensive picture of SeaLink’s tax profile. SeaLink has a strong commitment to transparency and compliance from a regulatory and financial perspective and values the principle of being transparent with respect to its tax strategy and compliance. The Audit and Risk Committee has committed to update and review this report and approach annually.
