Mr Morrison's government last year lobbied UNESCO to delay a decision about listing the reef as"in danger" until 2023.despite concerns about climate change-fuelled damage to the ecosystem's corals.
A further $252.9 million will support the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority's efforts to reduce threats from the crown of thorns starfish and prevent illegal fishing.As well, $92.7 million is slated for research to make the reef more resilient and to boost adaptation strategies. Traditional owners and community groups will get $74.4 million for a range of projects dealing with species protection, habitat restoration, citizen science and marine debris.
Bullshit!
Waste of money considering the inaction on climate change. Fix the root cause. Don’t overspend on bandaids. But yes yes, the headline looks good for ScottMorrisonMP It has a dollar amount, the reef and protect in the headline
Is this billion dollars coming out of the bushfire fund. That was not spent.
Don’t uncritically give oxygen to this propaganda. Ask some questions about how it’s going to be spent (mostly welfare for cane farmers in marginal seats it seems). It is bugger all over 9 years for an existential crisis. Next to nothing here for conservation. Be journalists.
More borrowed money reckless spending.
You mean 'they say their gonna spend $1bill' 🙄
A billion sounds like a lot of money. If less pollution from fossil fuels and methane went there it wouldn't be so necessary and should be spent on things which the community really needs like housing, and the homeless.
You don’t solve problems by throwing money at it. You need bang for your buck. A billion is a nice round figure which in itself is suspicious. Exactly where is it being spent, over what period and how much will go to mates/consultants. Pork barreling on a grand scale? auspol
You're too close to see the problem... Fix the Climate Change, and the reef will take care of itself 🎯
Don't forget the money is over 9 years pretty pathetic when you look at sports rorts and all the other rorts
So they just going to pour 1billion in cash into the water?
Talk is cheap with LNP. But if money is spent would it just be to line the pockets of LNP family and friends?
Too little too late. The Liberals are trying to prop up the 4 Queensland electorates impacted. A 9 year back ended con job. Morrison trying to avoid the salary cap. Faux policy from a weak government.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey just a heads up... we have noticed the LNP announces a lot but nothing ever improves.
Aus voters are only electing the Govt that the tobacco, mining & gambling oligarchs allow us to. Promoted by Murdoch of course. Lobbying allowed here is seen as illegal in other nations. Comforting. lnpdickheads AlboForPM AusPol2022 ScottytheFailure
Too little. Too late. Too long.
What happened to the 144 million Reefgate?
No their not ! It’s another announcement, check all their announcements! Nothing ever happens,
Why would they protect a reef they don't think is endangered?
How many coalition seats that border the reef
FIFY: “The federal government says it’s spending $1 billion to protect the reef, but we’ll believe it when we see it”.
They have had years in Govt to do this stuff (plus everything else they are about to throw $ at). They just haven’t been bothered fixing anything except fixing up their mates. Can’t plan. Can’t deliver. Can’t lead. Flick the switch.
Money gose back to federal govermant again !!!
Which mates are getting awash with money this time?
