Another Newcastle Oil Spill
 Over
12 tons of oil was pumped into Newcastle Harbour on
Tuesday Aug 24 2010 from the coal ship "Magdalene".
Containment booms were in place the following day, but a
number of birds had already been impacted. According to
Australian Seabird Rescue
President Marny Bonner, volunteers from
NATF,
ASR and
WIRES have been working together with the
RSPCA and
National Parks to
capture and wash around 20 oiled pelicans, with rescue
operations continuing for another 20 affected birds
sighted so far. With potential fines over $10 million,
you would think some of this could find its way
to wildlife groups, to help streamline the response of
wildlife rescue efforts. Photo courtesy Keith

Flying-Fox Protest
The QLD and VIC
Governments have ceased issuing licences to shoot flying
foxes, in support of the conservation and welfare of
these animals. In NSW licences are
still being issued to allow orchard owners to shoot. On

outside NSW Parliament house, supported by Sydney Lord
Mayor
Clover Moore. |
