I asked Chat GPT what damage to Tasmanian wilderness has been caused by the building of the Dam over the Gordon River?
ChatGPT Response 18.3.24
The construction of dams, including the Gordon Dam on the Gordon River in Tasmania, has resulted in significant environmental impacts on the surrounding wilderness areas. Some of the damages caused by the building of the dam over the Gordon River include:
Habitat Destruction: The flooding caused by the dam inundates large areas of natural habitat, including forests, wetlands, and river ecosystems. This can lead to the loss of critical habitat for various species of plants and animals, disrupting their populations and ecological interactions.
Alteration of River Ecosystems: Dams can disrupt the natural flow of rivers, leading to changes in water temperature, sediment transport, and nutrient cycling. These alterations can have detrimental effects on aquatic organisms, including fish populations, by affecting their breeding, feeding, and migration patterns.
Loss of Biodiversity: The flooding of wilderness areas due to dam construction can result in the loss of biodiversity as native species are displaced or their habitats destroyed. This loss of biodiversity can have cascading effects on ecosystem functioning and resilience.
Fragmentation of Landscapes: Dams can fragment wilderness landscapes, creating barriers to the movement of wildlife and disrupting natural migration routes. This fragmentation can isolate populations, reduce genetic diversity, and increase the risk of local extinctions.
Cultural and Aesthetic Impacts: Wilderness areas hold cultural and aesthetic value for indigenous communities and the general public. The construction of dams can result in the loss of cultural heritage sites, as well as the degradation of the scenic beauty and recreational opportunities associated with natural landscapes.
Overall, the building of dams over rivers such as the Gordon River in Tasmania has caused significant damage to the surrounding wilderness, with far-reaching ecological, cultural, and social consequences. These impacts underscore the importance of considering the full range of environmental and societal implications when making decisions about large-scale infrastructure projects.
I am sure if I asked Chat GPT what the economic benefits have been as a result of the dams construction were that it would undoubtedly have given me a credible answer.

Palais Theatre
The Palais Theatre (originally Palais Pictures) is a historic picture palace located in St Kilda, and inner suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. With a capacity of nearly 3,000 people, it is the largest seated theatre in Australia.
Replacing an earlier cinema of the same name destroyed in a fire, the new theatre, designed by Henry Eli White, opened in 1927. Sitting adjacent to Luna Park, it helped to establish the St Kilda beach foreshore as an entertainment precinct, and remains an iconic landmark in the area. Over time, it became known primarily as a music venue, and has also hosted ballet performances, operas and stand-up comedy shows.
The Palais is included on the Victorian Heritage Register, and in 2015, it was inducted into the Music Victoria Hall of Fame.[1]
The Palais Theatre was developed by the Phillips brothers (Leon, Herman and Harold), who hailed from Spokane, Washington.
