Conclusion to Land clearing story.

The other day on the local news they mentioned that a farmer had been fined $408,000 for clearing an area of native swamp. He got what he deserved you cant really expect to do something like that and no one would notice. http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/02/11/2488334.htm

It reminded me of my efforts to get land clearing in my area investigated. I succeeded and it was investigated, although it was found to have been approved and legal. That i wasn't happy about but o well its the law, I cant change it. Ive been tempted ever since to write to my MP asking them to change the law but i think it will be rather pointless. Its an improvement on some states anyway. We really need the Federal government to make laws like this.

There are more pressing issues going on at the moment anyway like the destruction of our old growth forests...
