Activist at Canberra Airport

Publicity shot for the Conservation Council ACT Region.

 

Very late on a Friday afternoon, August 1, as people were heading off for drinks or to the pub or the snow fields, or tidying crockery in the office kitchen before heading home, the Federal Environment Minister, Hon Murray Watt, MP, quietly announced the go-ahead for the Canberra Airport to build a road at the end of a runway, giving the citically endangered Canberra Grassland Earless Dragon (lizard), which lives in habitat at the end of the runway, a red hot crack at extinction in the wild.

 

Hmm, am I misunderstanding Murray Watt's job description?
