The senator of the Greens of Tasmania, Peter Whish-Wilson, has relieved his frustration by the agricultural legislation of Labor Salmon directly to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in an improvised protest.
Whish-Wilson said he was back from the parliamentary gym when he saw Albanese being interviewed by SBS World News in the courtyard outside the Senate Chamber, as part of a series of breakfast interviews about the federal budget.
“It is not good enough, pushing a species on the edge of extinction under the coverage of a budget,” he shouted from the doors of the Senate.
“You are a package of mestizos.”
The work has approved legislation with the support of the opposition in the House of Representatives to ensure that Salmon Agriculture can continue in Tasmania, amid the concern for the environmental and ecological impacts of the industry.
The changes in the Law on Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation were supported Monday by the work caucus, despite the private reserves of some parliamentarians.
The bill is expected to go to the Senate today and it is likely to be approved before the elections are called.
The greens oppose the legislation, together with the defenders of the key environment, and have been increasing the difficult situation of the skate fish species Maugean in danger of extinction, linked to the era of the dinosaur, which is only in the port of Macquarie where salmon agriculture is taking place.
Whish-Wilson then said that his reaction was impromna after seeing Albanese doing interviews.
“The last thing the prime minister does at the end of this Parliament is to sign the death order for a species,” he said.
“This is the lowest point for me in my 14 years in place.”
He said that the agricultural industry of Salmon is removing oxygen from the port of Macquarie, which is killing the Maugean skate.
The labor has provided $ 28 million to improve the quality of water and environmental conditions in the port.
