It's not just the turtles in trouble. The Gwydir Wetlands should be teeming with life right now, including with more than 100 different bird species such as the endangered Australian Painted Snipe, one of the rarest birds in Australia. There may be just a few hundred Painted Snipes left in the wild.
You will not believe what I've just seen. Hundreds of turtles stuck in the mud of a wetland in NSW that should be full of water and teeming with life. And a small dedicated team of scientists doing their best to rescue them. This is happening right now!
Victorians and Tasmanians have been given free public transport by their governments, yet Chris Minns doesn’t think we need it in NSW. Given how expensive Sydney is that’s pretty crap I reckon. It’s time for free public transport in NSW too 🚍🚊⛴️

Yup. At some point all that furious and foolish opposition to EVs, wind and solar in Australia was really going to bite.
