government has completed just two prosecutions into “unexplained land clearing” since 2017 when the Coalition introduced a much more liberal regime to allow clearing of native vegetation.The government has also renamed the category of “unexplained clearing” as “unallocated clearing”, but admits it is identical in its scope.
“In June, the government released land-clearing figures which showed over 50,000 hectares of land clearing was unexplained, which means it was either illegal clearing, clearing that occurred under the code but was unable to be demonstrated as having approval, or part of allowable activities on rural land, which includes things like fence lines and sheds,” Field said in parliament.
Field said when he asked repeatedly about unexplained clearing he was told “the government are working on it”.

Ethiopian pilots suspended after reportedly falling asleep, missing landing windowEthiopian Airlines is investigating an incident in which two of its pilots reportedly fell asleep mid-flight, causing them to overshoot their runway and miss their landing window.
