Nice one gazzy i wish that pete talked to us before giving the wonthaggi desalination plant that all clear, 200 whales and still counting As late as July 2010, then federal Environment
Minister Peter Garrett was insisting that “the assessment (EES) demonstrated that whales were unlikely to occur in the …vicinity of construction activity, Most of the whales were southern right and humpback whales (listed under the federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act). Clearly our coastline is a significant habitat. The Government's EES said there were virtually No Whales in the area and it was not significant habitat (the EES said only a couple of whales had visited the area over the last five years)
Pete is a nice guy ive first meet him in 1994 last had a chat to him in 2009 sound relief gigs just after the sound relief gig was at the MCG he gave a desalination project the all clear ;-(
