A community on the NSW south coast devastated by bushfire is calling for Australia’s environment laws to be strengthened so they can better protect nature from land clearing and development.

Bill Eger helped save hundreds of homes on the NSW south coast during this summer’s unprecedented bushfire season.

Mr Eger said the site, which was approved for development by the NSW government in 2008, is one of the last pockets of unburnt bushland in the area. Manyana Matters spokeswoman Jorj Lowrey said the developer agreed to provide at least 14 days' notice before commencing any work on the 180 lot project, known as Manyana Beach Estate.“It’s going to take at least a 12 month assessment ... to find out what is living in there.”

Australian actor Claudia Karvan has joined Manyana Matters' cause, appearing in a video uploaded to social media calling on the federal government to intervene.“This is particularly significant, it has mature trees that are crucial for wildlife and our ecosystems.”requesting an opportunity to review the results of new ecological surveys.

NSW protesters appeal Supreme Court decision banning demonstrations | Sky News AustraliaBlack Lives Matter protest organisers in Sydney have launched an eleventh-hour appeal to have a decision by the Supreme Court – which deemed the gathering illegal – overturned.\n\nThe New South Wales government made the submission to the Supreme Court to place an injunction against scheduled solidarity protests due to concerns about a potential spike in COVID-19 cases.\n\nPremier Gladys Berejiklian said she instructed Chief Police Commissioner Mick Fuller to approach the Supreme Court due to the event organisers' inability to assure the government protests could be conducted in a COVID-safe manner.\n\nMore than 5,000 people are set to attend the march with NSW Police due to issue fines to those doing the wrong thing.\n\nProtesters are expected to flood the streets of states and territories across the country despite opposition from health authorities and governments concerned about the spread of COVID-19.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia Have they installed COVIDSAFE app? Anyway, I personally would reduce going out for two weeks, let’s wait and see if we really need social distancing. They want to protest about Aboriginal deaths in custody, but non-Aboriginal people actually have a higher rate of death in custody than Aboriginal people. So, we should actually be protesting about non-Aboriginal deaths in custody. 😏 All Lives Matter - Stop the BS
