New ECOS article, Federal response to Senate Recommendations

[SteveB]

Some interesting articles to refer people to about Traveston and where the process is at the moment.

Those of you who saw the latest article in ECOS (the CSIRO environment magazine)- it went to print just before the November announcement re Traveston. CSIRO have since edited the on-line version to reflect the some of the news of the announcement.

Here it is - it is a good read - send this link around

Also, the Traveston section of the EPBC website published by DEWHA is really worth keeping an eye on -

The federal government has produced a written response to the committee's findings from last year's Senate Inquiry into water options for SEQ. It is an interesting read.

The real question is.. why did they write it, why did they write it NOW and why have they published it - not only on the senate website, but front and centre on the EPBC Traveston page?

Go get it - send it around. The beauty of having this published directly by the (ALP) federal government is that you can refer people in the ALP (and general skeptics in the media, water and engineering professions) to it as a reference that is not tainted by suspicions of nimbyism, greenism, coalitionism etc.

Have a look and download the document via the link to the senate home page
