Good news at last. Though, the govt washed its hands off the issue by letting the regulatory body deal with it. Another example of #AlboPM’s timidity where controversy arises or electoral success is threatened. Less ‘politics’ and more progressive policy decision Albo!

Norway’s wild salmon are on the brink. Parasites from offshore salmon farms are spreading into open waters, wiping out populations that once numbered over a million. With numbers now under 400,000, many rivers are closed to fishing. Can sustainable farming save them?

@fletch Absolutely — that’s the heart of it. Corporate lobbying = political capture. Multinationals aren’t just farming salmon, they’re farming our politicians too.

Shocking Revelation: Tasmania's Salmon Farms at Risk for Years

But instead of acting, the government—under pressure from the salmon industry—weakened standards and handed out exemptions to the new biosecurity program.

The hypocrisy is staggering. #environment #wildlifeconservation #salmonfarming #pollution #governmentaccountability #australia #MaugeanSkate
