Maybe. Talk to Michael Moore at The Mercury.
Perhaps the current government realises that moving environmental
control into the parks portfolio was a huge mistake.
Creating a new EPA might be their attempt to correct that mistake - or
paper over it.
The details are in that URL I posted: http://www.environment.tas.gov.au/
A while back the NSW government said there was no air pollution in Sydney.
The fact is that they don't know - they cut EPA funds, so it's not measured.
What is the current condition of the Victorian EPA? Does anyone know?
Does anyone care?
That's what I meant about blinkered eyes. In Tasmania you expect to see
pristine forests, and when you see ex-forests you react.
In Sydney you expect to see nightclubs, so you ignore the photochemical
smog. Melbourne is much the same.
But people - including me - do care about Tasmania.
